When we planned our garden 14 years ago, our first priority was to create a space with interest 12 months a year.
I visualized the garden as a gigantic stage where glamorous plants come forward at their designated time and take a deep bow, dazzle for a few moments then recede into the back round as others take their place.
Some months are more challenging than others. June is not one of them. I could have made a knock- your- socks -off- garden that performed brilliantly but only in June and July.
Our garden has evolved with a lot of help from my strong (and patient) mate, lots of gifts from other gardeners and a lovely temperate climate. I love what it has become.
Here are the gorgeous girls of June.
