The Temperate Gardener

Primarily this blog is about recording what I do in my own garden to keep it colourful, interesting and in turn attractive and enjoyable throughout the year. It is my refuge and experimental ground for plant association ideas which I often copy or adapt into my clients gardens.

I enjoy many successes and continue to learn and improve from my failures (before I copy them into my client’s gardens). I hope to inspire and guide other gardeners round avoidable stumbling blocks, wanting to experience the satisfaction of creating their own perfected personal slice of paradise on their doorstep, be it a window box, balcony or larger garden.

Thinking Outside the Boxwood

I knew I’d be a landscape designer when I was just a kid.
Growing up in Ohio and Iowa, I got to see my dad and uncles working in agriculture, and I was determined to make my own path.

I started this blog to share my inspiration and knowledge to gardeners everywhere.

I hope by providing guidance, tips and how-do basics, readers will find ways to make their outdoor living spaces feel even more like home.

30daysofwildparenting

Hello and welcome to my 30 days of wild blog. I am a primary teacher and new dad. Nature has always mattered to me, but since discovering I would be becoming a father nine months ago my love of the wild has taken on a new meaning. The world my daughter is coming into is facing many problems. We face an energy crisis, potential food shortages, global warming along with large sections of wilderness disappearing across the world in the name of “progress”. Species taken for granted in my childhood are becoming increasingly rare. Not the best time to be bringing a child into the world.

Tidy the Garden

The scent of the flowers, the green meadows, the fruits of labor, all these things made me appreciate gardening. Just like you, I love the soil and anything that is associated with it. Gardening was a passion that began when I started my own family five years ago. Although my wife and I didn’t have any gardening background but we loved the idea of growing our organic food.

This blog is dedicated to providing you the essentials of gardening that my wife and I have gained over the years. Everything from our best gardening tools to effective steps on how to protect the garden and so much more. Even though I am busy at work, I can still feel the land calling me which is why I wanted to encourage others to pursue their passion for gardening.​

Tikorangi: The Jury Garden

Tikorangi is one of the few inter-generational, private gardens in New Zealand that has been intensively gardened through the decades. Conceived in the English landscape style of the first half of the twentieth century, it is an ongoing project – a  domestic garden that continues to change and develop. While the design has a debt to English gardening, the plant material spans the world, with particular emphasis on the sub tropics to warm temperate climes.
(Ed: And being in New Zealand, our winter is their summer. Dream on!)

Time in the Garden

I am Anca Tircă and my garden although small, has great dreams. I take care of it myself, as I like to put on the gloves and plant, clean, make flower beds or cut the grass.It is the place where, very often, I have meetings with myself ( this is my professional blog).

Tony Tomeo

I am not a professional writer. I am merely a horticulturist who happens to write about it.

This blog is another outlet for my gardening articles, as well as a few unpublished odds and ends about my own horticultural experiences. My weekly gardening articles feature a main topic and a featured plant. These two components will be separated here on the blog, so that the main topics will be in one category, and the plants will be in another. I will probably recycle old articles when they are in season. In regard to the unpublished odds and ends; anything goes.

Toronto Gardens

Helen’s the big sister; Sarah’s the little sister. For most of our children’s lives, our families have lived two doors from each other on a tree-lined street in east Toronto (Canadian Zone 6; USDA Zone 5).

Trying to grow things under Norway maples on land that was once the sandy, sandy shore of ancient Lake Iroquois, we have an intimate knowledge of what it means to fail and succeed in dry shade.

Sarah is a graphic designer who teaches her craft at a community college. Helen is a freelance copywriter, a volunteer with the Toronto Master Gardeners, and founding member of a local powerwalking club.

The Transatlantic Gardener

This blog is about…
Transatlantic views on garden plants, native plants, invasive plants, books about plants… Plus comment on wildlife, catalog(ue)s, the smartness and the absurdity of plant names, the transatlantic life, fishing, music and more… From Northamptonshire (zone 8) in England and the much icier Pennsylvania (zone 5) in the USA.

Tweed Street Gardener

I’ve been growing my own fruit and veg since 2012, and took on my current allotment in March 2015. With help (sometimes willing, sometimes begrudging) from my partner Melissa, we cleared what was a typically weedy plot and constructed raised beds with bark-chip paths in between.

We have always gardened organically, and have adopted a ‘no-dig’ approach by spreading a layer of compost annually which keeps down the weeds, helps retain moisture and encourages soil life to thrive (and thus, by extension, our plants). This blog is partly an attempt to channel some of my boundless enthusiasm for gardening into something that other like-minded gardeners might enjoy, and partly an attempt at giving long suffering Melissa a break from endless chats about soil, seedlings and pruning.

Two Thirsty Gardeners

Rich and Nick began making their own cider in 2008, pilfering apples from anyone with a tree and brewing them in Rich’s garden shed. Four years later they acquired a neglected, overgrown allotment plot strewn with litter and without a patch of bare earth in sight. The first thing to get planted was an apple tree…
This website chronicles their battles with voracious slugs, destructive weeds and unexplained yeast infections as they attempt to produce a fresh vegetable harvest and turn some of the fruits of their labour into alcohol.
