Gardens Illustrated – June 2021

With our gardens now in full swing we’re here to help you on your way to achieving something great. Welcome to The Plant Issue. In the July edition of Gardens Illustrated we highlight the plants and gardens nurtured so thoughtfully by passionate gardeners and plantspeople. Our kitchen-garden columnist Aaron Bertelsen lists vegetable plots that offer him food for thought. We admire the dedication and expertise Jim Marshall has shown in propagating and collecting the once-fashionable perpetual carnation. Our plant profile this month are herbaceous clematis which will prove a boon to any border. Dan Pearson guides us through the newly developed garden at Sissinghurst Castle, channelling the spirit of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, inspired by the planting and feel of the Greek island of Delos. Plus all this and our famous seasonal explorations of the world’s most beautiful gardens.
