Welcome
More years ago than I care to remember, I helped judge a garden competition run by BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. The other judges and I were driven around the, all in a dedicated border with some evergreens for company, all coral, magenta and ruby-red tones, and it was just gorgeous. They’re the subject of our Plant Focus this month, and they crop up in quite a few of the gardens in this issue, too: glowing in the Lavinia Walk at ; among the swathes of beautiful perennials at ; and in Charles Harman’s tutti-frutti borders at . I christen penstemon the plant of the issue!
