Chelsea Chop or Flop
Last May I cut back great swathes of sedum in the garden, a third off every stem. Soon all the stems were re-shooting and now they are coming into flower and the bees are loving them. I shall certainly do it next year...stop the flop, give it the chop!
I am a garden designer and author; I have a love of gardens whether in town, village or countryside! Even City coutyards hold a special interest, especially with their historic associations.
I also have a particular interest in conceptual gardening which in my case come into the "garden art" category with many paintings transformed into growing borders here at The Manor House Stevington. I am also very keen on edible flowers and eat my garden flowers from my borders as well as orchard fruits and vegetables. I like to share them with others too when groups visits.
