Noel's Garden Blog: The Piet Oudolf story, and many
http://noels-garden.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-piet-oudolf-story-and-many.html
Various ramblings and musings on gardening, agriculture, food and related subjects. Saturday, May 16, 2015. The Piet Oudolf story, and many. A lot of regular readers of this blog will probably be aware of the 'Oudolf Hummelo' book being 'out'. I've been meaning to write something about it for some time but been very busy. Much of the Dutch landscape is incredibly highly managed, with little room for nature. Historically, natural habitats were ruthlessly cleared out of the way. One of the side-sto...Centu...

Noel's Garden Blog: A trip to Prague
http://noels-garden.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-trip-to-prague.html
Various ramblings and musings on gardening, agriculture, food and related subjects. Wednesday, September 10, 2014. A trip to Prague. The castle of Pruhonice. I made a flying visit to Prague last week, to do a couple of lectures to a conference - Ūdržba trvalkovych záhonů – maintaining perennial beds, I think that means. Frustratingly short, but no time wasted, with two guided tours of two immensely important parks with their botanical collections. What struck me in particular were some photographs of per...

Various ramblings and musings on gardening, agriculture, food and related subjects. Sunday, December 1, 2013. Updates - EU legislation and Oudolf meadow. Two updates: one on the EU proposed legislation on plant cultivars, and the other on the perennial meadow at Hummelo. Miscanthus 'Yaku-jima', in our garden last week, a good small miscanthus, but still growing a lot bigger than it does with many - that high level of phosphorus in the soil i suppose! I have been comparing annual weather statistics betwee...

The Freerange Gardener: November 2013
http://freerangegardener.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Life in a Devon garden. Tuesday, 26 November 2013. Fleeting low sunlight illuminated some of the last vestiges of autumn and, in one case, the promise of the spring to come. A lattice of burnished beech ( Fagus sylvatica. Leaves against a cloudless sky. Backlit fluffy seedheads of Miscanthus sinensis. Flamingo' wafting in the breeze. The rich buttery leaves of Cornus sangnuinea. Long-faded flowerheads of Sedum spectabile. Almost reborn in the sun. Biding its time until spring. Posted by Tim Jones. The co...

The Freerange Gardener: July 2013
http://freerangegardener.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Life in a Devon garden. Wednesday, 31 July 2013. I heard the loud and distinctive "chup! Call of Crossbills this afternoon and looked up to see a flock of 10 of these dumpy finch-like birds – equipped with slightly comical overlapping mandibles that are perfectly designed for extracting seeds from pine cones – flying high down the valley. Crossbills breed very early in the year and roam the countryside in summer and autumn, in sometimes very large flocks, seeking out fruiting conifers. Posted by Tim Jones.
