Steal this plant combination 🌿👇🏼 Earlier

Steal this plant combination 🌿👇🏼

Earlier this week we shared our previously completed project ‘The North Wiltshire Garden’, so we thought we’d share a deeper dive into some of the planting.

Here Knautia macedonic and Nepeta work harmoniously together and create a beautifully wild place to sit in the garden on that light blue bench.

Knautia macedonica, often called Macedonian scabious, boasts vibrant, wine-red blooms that add a splash of deep color to any garden from early summer to Autumn. This perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, reaching up to 2 feet in height. It’s a pollinator magnet, so expect visits from bees and butterflies!

Nepeta, commonly known as catmint, is beloved for its aromatic, gray-green foliage and soft lavender flowers. It’s incredibly easy to grow, preferring full sun and dry, well-drained soils. Nepeta blooms from late spring through late summer, and cutting it back midseason can encourage a second bloom and maintain its bushy form.

💧🌿 Care Tips: Both plants are drought-tolerant once established, making them perfect for low-water gardens. Deadhead Knautia to prolong blooming and trim back Nepeta after its first flush of flowers to keep it neat and prolific.

Plant these beauties together for a garden that’s both a feast for the eyes and a haven for wildlife. 🐝

Located within the vale of the River Avon, this is

Located within the vale of the River Avon, this is one of our favourite smaller scale projects that we’ve completed.

Following an extension at the rear of the house, the previous garden no longer worked or made sense. What was needed was a complete re-think on structure and shape – with plenty of space for outside entertaining and pathways that created a journey amongst the planting.

As the client was a keen gardener, we were able make this a ‘gardener’s garden’ through a comprehensive planting scheme. (Though our recent post last week reminded her to get out and tackle the weeding 😉 more on our stories)

Herbaceous perennials were combined with grasses that are punctuated with strong, feature plants including multi-stemmed crab apple and clipped Columnar hornbeam. We also installed LED lighting to create atmosphere and drama at night.

Designed by Andrew Johnstone & @serenafremantle - you can find out more about this ‘North Wiltshire Garden’ project on the Johnstone Landscapes website, and there’s more on our stories.

How to maximise Allium season 🌿👇🏼

Here at our previously completed project ‘The Farm House’ you can see Allium sphaerocephalon & Astrantia major working harmoniously in the sunshine. But how can you ensure you get the most out of your alliums? As they start to open nice and early this spring in the UK?

Boost your allium displays by planting in full sun and well-draining soil to encourage maximum blooms. Extend their beauty by allowing spent flowers to remain; their architectural forms add interest and support biodiversity.

For longer-lasting displays, water consistently during the growing season and apply a high-potassium fertilizer after blooming to nourish the bulbs for next year.

The magic of Iris

Our North Wiltshire Garden (previously completed) has a client who is a keen gardener, meaning we were able make this a ‘gardener’s garden’ through a comprehensive planting scheme.

Here you can see Iris sibirica interplanted with Geranium bohemicum, Astrantia major, and Verbena bonariensis. Photographed beautifully here by @jasoningram in a previous Summer - and a sneaky glimpse of what’s to come later this year.

Throughout these borders herbaceous perennials were combined with grasses that are punctuated with strong, feature plants including multi-stemmed crab apple and clipped Columnar hornbeam. We also installed LED lighting to create atmosphere and drama at night.

Where Andrew’s passion began… Andrew’s lov

Where Andrew’s passion began…

Andrew’s love of landscaping is deep rooted in his story of everything he’s done to date, and it’s no surprise that’s lead him to where he is now and the success of @johnstonelandscapes so far.

Not only that, but his passion is infectious. Creating that rare thing, not just a team but a family here at Johnstone Landscapes where many of the team have been with us for a very long time. They learn and grow with us and from Andrew’s wisdom which is never dampened even on the wettest and windiest of spring days (that seem to be the theme of Spring 2024).

It’s lead to a culture within the business of quality and expertise above all else and a passion for creating wildly beautiful spaces for all of our clients that will last a lifetime.

It’s Tulip season at our ‘Mill House’ projec

It’s Tulip season at our ‘Mill House’ project in Gloucestershire.

Oh Spring, we’re in full swing now and nothing says that more than rows of tulips. We were pleased to feature in @gardens_illustrated about our ‘Mill House’ project and some of the stunning tulip varieties growing in the gardens we installed, which you can read more about in the ‘press’ section on our website.

Here’s a closer look in a video taken when @jasoningram went to visit to photograph them in all their glory. 😍 📸

This Grade II listed property and surrounding network of waterways and waterfalls provide an intrinsic sense of peace around this acclaimed and beautifully restored walled garden. Designed by @todd_longstaffe_gowan and installed by @johnstonelandscapes
