Indulge your senses

A garden that nourishes the soul is not just about looks – scent, sound, movement and texture all play a role too. Combine touchy-feely grasses such as Stipa tenuissima with scented Oriental lilies and clothe pergolas in wisteria and roses to perfume the air. Add texture with the furry leaves of

Artemesia and Stachys byzantina, and create a boundary of bamboo (in pots). On windy days, its soothing sound will mask the noise of traffic. WHERE TO BUY Wisteria sinensis var. sinensis f. ‘Alba’, 2ltr pot,
