Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio: Wild Windy and Wet with a dash of Wisdom
http://marianboswall.blogspot.com/2010/09/wild-windy-and-wet-with-dash-of-wisdom.html
Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio. Wild Windy and Wet with a dash of Wisdom. My husband's uncle is an extraordinary man, and I would like to tell you about him. He grew up in Trinidad, the son of a wealthy sugar grower, and came back to farm on Church Commission land in Devon as a young adult. The Church said a farmer needs a woman, so my mother-in-law moved in as temporary land girl until a lovely wife was found. As we left John was preparing to harvest his apples. He was collecting ...

Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio: What nonsense it is to shave it as often as foolish men shave their faces!
http://marianboswall.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-nonsense-it-is-to-shave-it-as.html
Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio. What nonsense it is to shave it as often as foolish men shave their faces! These wise words of. With 95% of England's meadow pasture gone under the plough and then 'improved' through fertilisation and pesticides we are very lucky in Kent to have. To remind us how it should be done. Owned and managed by the Kent Wildlife trust the three fields of just under 6 acres are easy to drive by, if you miss the discreet butterfly sign by the side of the lane.

Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio: Behind every great garden..
http://marianboswall.blogspot.com/2010/10/behind-every-great-garden.html
Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio. Behind every great garden. Is a great gardener. By the turn of this century it was woefully neglected, and whilst the house was under English Heritage the garden was maintained by the cash strapped local authority. An ill advised restoration project in the 1970's had filled the main lawn with trees, graffiti covered the entrance walls, dogs fouled the grounds and mattresses lurked under the brambles in the undergrowth. Group, a very influential and well ...

Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio: Uplifting mornings
http://marianboswall.blogspot.com/2010/06/uplifting-mornings.html
Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio. One gets up earlier and earlier as the days get longer and planting time shorter - so much to do and so much to miss if you snooze! This is my favourite early morning view, from my bedroom window - and every morning recently I have heard ringing in my ears these beautiful lines from the famous poem:. When you awaken in the morning hush. I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. Deborah at Kilbourne Grove. 4 June 2010 at 22:24.

Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio: Fish in a Dish (washer), Garden Party Sunday
http://marianboswall.blogspot.com/2010/06/fish-in-dish-washer-garden-party-sunday.html
Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio. Fish in a Dish (washer), Garden Party Sunday. The garden was a real treat. It is the private project of a clever fellow, born in America but here for years, he apparently retired early to do things that he loves. The garden shows that love, with clever use of colour and bold planting that sets off the Elizabethan walls and enhances the original layout of this beautiful manor house. Heather @ what's blooming this week. 28 June 2010 at 21:41. Marian, sheer...

Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio: Baked Washed & Blown Dry? Come for a walk
http://marianboswall.blogspot.com/2010/07/baked-washed-blown-dry-come-for-walk.html
Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio. Baked Washed and Blown Dry? Come for a walk. We've been baked, jet washed and blown dry in the last few weeks, and the strong winds are still reminding us of staking 'Could-Do-Better's, like this Inula magnifica who looks a little worse for wear in his drunken sea of long grass. Tramping my daily beat with my spaniels circling my heels, I get terribly excited as the first buds on the trees herald the beginning of the end of winter. With the birth of ...

Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio: Dressed To Kill
http://marianboswall.blogspot.com/2010/06/dressed-to-kill.html
Marian Boswall Landscape Design and Garden Studio. Secateurs, wire-cutters, dust sheet, dirty clothes, trowel and spade - not quite the usual accessories in an evening bag for an soiree at the opera. As I got out of the London taxi at the gates of Holland Park the driver couldn't resist eyeing the handle of my spade sticking out of the bag: 'Going to bury a body are we love? Thanks to Chris for his camera-phone photos). 20 June 2010 at 06:54. Mmm, gosh, posh! 20 June 2010 at 10:32. 20 June 2010 at 18:01.
