South African plants are wonderfully diverse, often quietly quirky and outlandishly beautiful. Gardener Kirstin Kelly explains how to plant a meadow full of these diverse and colourful plants.
Nymans Rose Garden holds a huge variety of roses from old-fashioned varieties & modern shrubs to English Roses and ramblers. Subtle rose perfumes punctuate the air on approach and visitors can be seen chasing a particular bouquet to its source.
Nymans is a grade II listed garden because of it's significant plant collection. We have one of the most interesting and diverse collections of plants in The National Trust.
With the sudden rise in temperature over the last couple of weeks, it’s not just the Nymans' gardeners who're enjoying the extra warmth. It’s now time for the tulips here to have their moment in the spotlight.
As a gardener it's an exciting time spying on the rapid efforts of plants emerging from grass or bare soil, revealing such fresh, perfectly untouched foliage and clean colours that hail the start of the season.
As we reach the middle of summer with the temperatures finally starting to rise, the summer borders here at Nymans gradually begin to take shape. So what can you look out for this year?
