1 June 2016 Newsletter Summer greetings What a crazy busy Spring we have had here at Hunting Brook. It has been difficult to find a quiet moment to do our newsletter but now as I type this, I sit happily amidst a sea of bobbing purple and white alliums, admiring the bounty of all our labour with so much joy. The main gardens are a constant moving vista of new and exciting perennials and this winter and spring we have expanded the garden down into the valley. My friend Brian Hedrick, a talented woodsman and craftsman was instrumental in thinning out the old trees and allowing badly needed light into the newly created woodland glades. Brian's work combined with our new plantings, has completely transformed the valley. By creating space in the canopy and allowing dappled sunlight into the valley floor we have created a cool haven for very exciting plants. I am very excited to watch this space develop over the coming years.

2 Back up in the main garden, the succulents have claimed more space this year too. The colors and textures of these plants are so diverse and stunning that it's easy to see why many people have been seduced into their world! For extra drama, I have combined the succulents with some of my new collections of Salvias. Our next open day is this coming Sunday June 12th and we would love to see you. Delicious tea and cake will be on hand to give you extra fortitude and I am doing a free guided tour of the gardens at 2pm. For any gourmands among you, Orlaith Murphy is doing a walk at 3.30 in the garden where she will point out edible ornamentals that can add a touch of drama to any meal. Hope you enjoy the newsletter and see you all over the summer Jimi Watch our woodland garden take shape

3 June 12th - Next Special Sunday Open Day Favorite plants for this time of the year

4 Lunaria annua 'Corfu Blue' Lunaria commonly know as honesty, is a real child hood memory for me with its silvery papery seed heads in the winter. This is a new cultivar discovered by garden designer Mary Keen. It has pale cobalt-violet flowers from April till July which bridges that gap perfectly from spring into summer. Sow the seed in June/July for flowering the following summer. Geum 'Totally Tangerine' I first met this wonderful Geum at the Chelsea flower show 3 years ago when it hit the gardening scene by storm. This is the longest flowering Geum with apricot/orange flowers from Spring till winter. I even had the occasional flower popping up through the snow. It is a sterile hybrid so it doesn't produce seed allowing it to flower over a really long season. My main tip on growing Geums is to divide plants regularly in Autumn or Spring into nice rich compost.

5 Valeriana pyrenaica When most of my woodland plants are running out of energy for flowering, this Valeriana steps in and takes center stage; bringing the woodland garden colour, right into summer. Large heart shaped leaves with lacy heads of tiny lilac flowers that produce clouds of fluffy seed heads. It is slightly invasive so I remove seed heads before the seeds take flight. I can't understand why this is not grown more It will grow in sun or shade but I prefer it in semi shade.

6 Next in our series of Supper Clubs...

7 Starting September 2016 In this course, Jimi Blake will provide a deeper understanding of current planting ideas and plant combinations. Over the course of a year, classes are held in the beautiful surroundings of Hunting Brook Garden and June Blake's Garden.
