Welcome

The English Garden

This Month • Our guide to plants, people, gardens and events, tasks and shopping in March

People to Meet • Introducing the gardeners and public figures we most admire in British horticulture

Out & About • Unmissable events, news and the very best gardens to visit this month

Things to Do • In March, Jane Moore is moving overgrown plants, planting bareroot roses and hedging, and tidying up the garden to better view the first miniature daffodils

Beautiful & Useful • New plants, books, tools and creative designs, plus shopping inspiration

Signs of Life • Butterflies, hedgehogs, birds, bugs and grubs all call our gardens home. Not only will it help boost biodiversity if you make their environment as hospitable as possible, but it will give the greatest joy to observe them going about their day-to-day lives right under our noses. Hanging peanut and sunflower heart, £3.49. Tel: 0800 7312820; birdfood.co.uk

The Warmest WELCOME • Even in the chill of late winter, Rosemary Alexander’s relaxed Sussex garden at Sandhill Farm House is ready to welcome visitors with outstretched arms, a feast for the senses emerging from its fertile soil

Fire & Ice • Under the leaden grey skies of winter, Higher Cherubeer in Dorset still has plenty to entice and excite, the eye-popping contrast of flaming salix stems and pristine snowdrops forming its first spectacular seasonal combination

Heart of GOLD • Spangling the lush green lawns gold, historic drifts of daffodils are a mainstay at Nettlestead Place in Kent, whose gardens have been carefully reshaped over the decades to create a place of refuge for people and wildlife

Wake-Up CALL • Spring is in the air and Sherwood in Devon is ready for action, its woodland walks packed with scent and colour from a range of bulbs, magnolias and other seasonal delights, all planted to invigorate and tantalise the senses

Heavy Metal • Professional gardener Andy Karavics recommends ten silvery-hued plants that will add glamour and drama to your borders whatever the conditions

Out of the Shadows • With their strikingly other-worldly flowers, trilliums make star woodland plants. Val Bourne meets collector Michael Myers who explains how to coax the best out of these sometimes tricky characters to bring intrigue to shady spots

THE WAITING GAME • Growing perennials from seed does require patience and technique but, as Derry Watkins of Special Plants Nursery explains, it’s an economical and sustainable route to abundant borders bulging with choice plants

PERENNIAL LOVE • For a steadfast and sustainable presence in the garden, look no further than perennials. Top designers and those in the know reveal their favourite candidates for long-lasting colour and interest across a range of schemes

FULL TRANSPARENCY • West Dean Gardens near Chichester is famous for its splendid array of 13 Victorian glasshouses, making head gardener Tom Brown exceptionally well placed to share his wealth of experience in this exclusive extract from The Greenhouse Book

First LIGHT • Right now the garden is cold and gloomy, but glimmers of hope are emerging. Hellebores...
