In an area infested with deer, it is so nice that they never touch irises or peonies which bloom at the same time each spring here in Georgia. Iris 'Daughter of Stars' is the only iris I've grown that reliably lives up to its "rebloomer" status. Pictured here with Peony 'Paula Faye'.

Without some thought & a plan, letting your lawn go will mean “weediness”* and ultimately scrubland.

This is fine, for scrubland & wild areas but in the built environment, a lack of design intention will aggravate neighbours & turn them against #WildlifeGardens & #NativePlants.

Luckily, I am a #Wildlife #FoodForest #GardenDesigner & it’s my job go think, plan & design 😎

*weediness means it looks a mess, it does *not* mean native plants or #WildFlowers.

I am a #Wildlife #FoodForest #GardenDesigner. Low-maintenance, high-wildlife gardens & remote design a speciality 🌳 💚 https://www.natureworks.org.uk/portfolio/

Creating an ornamental property line screen for a client using both natives and non-natives with year-round foliage and flower interest. Evergreens, conifers, and deciduous materials are included.

This is one of those years when I did a lot of the Lemonade & Grape Garden Theme. Those Woodstock Hyacinths are so dreamy - and fragrant. The bulbs are planted in October with the other plant materials... and then we wait for the spring show.

Planning for an upcoming project: these large, green steel planters will need to be completely emptied before I can refill them. No drainage holes were ever placed in them and you can only imagine what's happened here after a year.... whew! Stinky, standing water and dead plants in sludge. But no worries. I'm already working on replacement options.

@JimmyB @kathimmel @blackenedgreen actual plant-insect interactions v complex. See Database of Insects & their Food Plants http://dbif.brc.ac.uk/hosts.aspx in combo with Plant Atlas https://plantatlas.brc.ac.uk/

As #FoodForest #GardenDesigner, I advocate planting edible non-natives all the time, key point is *native plants where possible* ie in terms of biomass & diveristy eg windbreak hedges, ground cover.

Also, design in *habitat diversity* See John Little's amazing work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_AzlRC6TBI

#January 1, 1944
#OTD Sir Edwin "Ned" Lutyens, English #Architect, died.

In #Midlife, he started working w/ #Gertrude Jekyll & together, they created #Stunning English #Country Garden properties.

#Deanery Garden is arguably Ned's best country home;
#LedZeppelin #Guitarist Jimmy Page now owns it.

As a garden designer, my work often follows me into the kitchen where I obsessively put gardenscapes on just about anything: salads, pizzas, mac and cheese (pictured), soups (floating gardens), dinner rolls and focaccia. This happens more often during the holidays when I have time off. This is my therapy.

#OTD Edna Walling, #Australian #GardenDesigner & #Writer, is born.

Edna's #Naturalistic #Gardens never felt #Contrived or overly planned.

Edna #Randomly threw #Potatoes on the ground, & planted #Trees in those spots.

If potatoes landed almost on top of each other, Edna let the chips (or #PotatoChips 😂) fall where they may.

Edna embraced the #Beauty of #Random.

#OTD Edna Walling, #Australian #GardenDesigner & #Writer, is born.

Peter Watts, an Edna biographer, wrote,

"[Edna] would be regarded now as a bit old-fashioned.
She was a #Gardener's #Designer - a brilliant #Plantswoman who understood the subtleties of #Gardening and #Design...

Edna always thought #Gardens should be just a bit #Bigger than they needed, so that you couldn't #Control them entirely."

#OTD Edna Walling, #Australian #GardenDesigner & #Writer, is born.

She worked for 4 decades (1920-1960) & made 300+ #Gardens.

After advocating for #Native #Plants (she was ahead of her #TIme), she wrote about the #Backlash:

[I got a letter addressed to me] as #Dear #Anti-#Annual!
Oooooh, what have I said?
Something rude about #Iceland #Poppies or #Asters?
How narrow-minded of me.

One of my favorite times of the year: Amaryllis season! I've got a bunch of them this year, including a couple of new ones. There's nothing better than having an indoor garden full of flowers in January and February.

I know this will likely get lost in the feed, but after planting hundreds of tulips the past couple of weeks, sometimes when I'm alone I go out to my garden and cover myself with dirt and leaves and pretend I'm a tulip.
