This magical, aromatic herb is the most useful thing to plant this month (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Named after Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon, artemisias are distinct for their silvery-green foliage, which is aromatic and makes a great foil for other plants in the border. They are also fabulous in no-water gardens as they are extremely drought tolerant. This beguiling group of herbs was held in high regard in the Old World and employed for scrying and protection. Two of the most famous types are mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and wormwood (A. absinthium). The latter is distilled to conc

Read excerpt
As our summers grow hotter and drier, we seek out gorgeous drought-tolerant flowers and plants that thrive in the arid swelter.

Capturing plants during the summer months when they are at their best might sound like a bit of a palaver, but it's surprisingly easy to dry your own flowers. Not long ago, the idea of a dried arrangement would have conjured up images of dusty grasses
How to get your children to help you in the garden (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gardening with children – or at least with a childlike sense of fun – can make a garden ten times more enjoyable. For a moment, forget about propagation, composting, and crop rotation and, instead, focus on the flowers that look the barmiest, the leaves that smell the best, and the plants that grow taller than the shed. Here are some of our favourite things to grow with young gardeners. Ridiculously tall plants that soar to the skies create a glorious Wonderland effect in the garden, and – given
