Past Times

Meanwhile on Instagram...

Beautiful #hellstrip planting #Denver style with a carefully chosen mix of native plants, plus ones that are familiar to me, all served with a hefty dose of #xeriscaping as the Denver area only has 15 inches of rain per year. I loved the use of #sculpture roadside too and that glimpse of terracotta wall serves as a neat foil to the garden itself. I don't usually go for such strong colours but in this garden it worked well and provided a neat link to the more familiar xeriscaped gardens of Texas I saw last year. #botanicalpickmeup #gardenvisit #xeriscape #gardenart #nativeplants #roadside #terracotta #travelblogger #gardentravel #visitusa #Colorado #milehighcity #igersdenver #igerscolorado #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #gbfling2019 #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers

There's a certain irony when you're still waiting to see the #Chihuly exhibition at #Kew only to travel to #Denver and find there's one installed right there, right now. But who cares when the sun is shining and the glass is sparkling against the blue sky? Not I for one 😊 #mydbg #denverbotanicgardens #igersdenver #igerscolorado #sculpture #glass #orangeandblueskies #travelblogger #travelstory #gardenvisit #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #gbfling2019

When I was little all I wanted to have when I grew up was a swimming pool, forgetting the practicalities of needing a house. Now I'm a grown up (of sorts) with a house, but no pool. Perhaps a swimming pond might do instead? This one in a private garden in #Boulder #Colorado reminded me of that earlier ambition. #gbfling2019 #swimmingpond #gardensofinstagram #gardenvisit #gardensmakemehappy #travelblogger #visitusa #skyreflection #gardenideas #gardendesign #gardenblogger #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #gdnbloggers #childhooddreams #ripples

Spittle spotting... help researchers prevent deadly Xylella take a hold in the UK by spotting which plants are home to the bacterium's carrier, the sap sucking froghopper aka spittlebug. Xylella isn't here yet, but this study will help scientists to see where the spittlebugs are, which plants they call home, and what plans need to be put in place. More info and links are on the blog. #citizenscience #xylella #helpinghand #gardeninglife #diseaseprevention @forestryengland @the_rhs #gardenblogger #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #spittlebug #froghopper #kewgardensrose #spittle #frothy

Volunteer duties at #westonbirtarboretum this week included photographing this summer's seasonal trail in the Old Arboretum. The view down Lime Avenue is my favourite shot from the walk. #volunteering #volunteersweek #volunteer #treescape #treestagram #treesofinstagram #igersgloucestershire #botanicalpickmeup #weekendwalk #gardenblogger #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #greenisthecolour

A lovely show garden which highlighted the work of the Greenfingers #charity and how restful the colour green is for a garden space. I loved the creamy yellows which added highlights to the planting in this garden and elsewhere. It was my #chelseaflowershow colour for this year. #rhschelsea2019 #rhschelseaflowershow #greenfingers #mellowyellow #botanicalpickmeup #underthefloralspell #myhappymoments #gigfy #igerslondon#instagarden #gardenideas #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

Brightly coloured raffia, who knew? By the same people who brought you twine in all colours of the rainbow. I'd like to scoop them all up and bring them home 😊 #raffia #raffiamad #rainbowcolors #gardenaccessories #musthaveitem #gardensundries #rhschelseaflowershow #rhschelsea #rhschelsea2019 #igerslondon #gardenideas #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

Part of the Kirstenbosch exhibit at this year's #rhschelsea flower show and a welcome return to top form in the #greatpavilion. I'm told there were problems with the plants clearing customs for the display, so the exhibitors were up against it to get everything ready for the show. I'm glad they managed to pull it off in time for #pressday. I hope to visit and see this native flora for real one day 😊 #botanicalpickmeup #nativeplants #southafrica #kirstenbosch #kirstenboschgardens #rhschelsea2019 #rhschelseaflowershow #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

Today is #plantday aka Fascination of Plants day, and I think this overhead shot of Bidens is a suitable celebration because it shows perfectly why this cultivar is called 'Spotlight'. It’s gracing the hanging basket by my front door 😊 #botanicalpickmeup #flowerstagram #planstagram #hangingbasket #simplethingsmakemehappy #floraldecor #gardenideas #gigfy #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #mygardenrightnow #myinspiration #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #happyplants
