During our recent trip to Kyoto we attended the home of a private Ikebana teacher to learn more about the history of the Japanese art of flower arrangement and to practise our skills in the Moribana style. It was a wonderful experience to spend time with an instructor who has been practicing Ikebana for over thirty years.

Later in our journey I was privileged to attend the Nihonbashi Ikebana School, Tokyo for private tuition in both the Moribana and Nageire styles, again under the guidance of an exceptionally experienced teacher. The latter style is more complex to produce. Instead of using a kenzan, the flowers and foliage are accurately arranged in a deep vase with the branches carefully split and interlocked for support.

Two grape vine varieties that were kindly gifted to us by a local gardener. The white grape is Phoenix, and the red Regent. They both grow very well under glass/plastic where they produce lovely tasty grapes but, rather unusually, they also produce edible grapes outside in all but the poorest UK Summers, and apparently they are gaining an excellent reputation as both edible and wine-producing grapes.

We hosted several private events last weekend including a Dried Flower Arranging Workshop for this fabulous Hen Party. It was lovely to start using the flowers that we have been growing and preserving over the summer months and to see them appreciated.

There is so much activity going on at The Bath Greenhouse at this time that I really need a chance to catch my breath. Today's photo is of three large kidney shaped beds at the end of our garden. We inherited a pile of very large stones when we bought the house and my brother added some of his rockery stones to the pile. We thought it would look good to set them in the ground and surround the stones with a prairie style planting scheme. It's taken Billy, who helps us in the garden a good deal of time to clear the weeds but I think we are now ready for autumn planting. The natural hedge in front of the polytunnel is also growing well and will soon obscure our view of it at the bottom of the garden. The other three sides are already well hidden from view.

Today we opened our garden for charity for the last time this season to The Holt Gardening Club. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with fellow gardeners and to support the National Garden Scheme. The cutting garden was the main attraction but there was also a lot of interest in our Geum collection. Most of our species Geums flower in April and May which will mark the timing of our garden opening in 2025.

Last week we visited Iford Manor and had an absolutely delicious lunch in their restaurant followed by a private tour of their cutting garden and formal topiary area. We’re always intrigued to see other garden’s cut flowers and came away with some new ideas for our own cutting garden. Thank you for making it a truly special afternoon for me, my husband and daughter.

Plant Heritage is the world’s leading garden plant conservation and research charity, committed to the conservation of cultivated plants in the British Isles. We became members of Plant Heritage after our last visit to RHS Chelsea in May 2022 having met with Plant Heritage's representative.

We had been thinking about starting a National Plant Collection for a number of years but first wanted to be sure that we had the right environment for our chosen plants and second that our conservation efforts would be of value to the organisation. Two years on and we are now the National Plant Collection holders for Geum coccinea and Geum rivale cvs, awarded by the Plant Heritage Plant Collections Committee in June 2024. A National Plant Collection is a registered and documented collection of a group of plants. With the support of Plant Heritage we aim to conserve species Geums and other Geum cultivars for the benefit of future generations, and to build and share our knowledge of this collection with others.

We would like to acknowledge the support and expertise of Sue Martin, holder of the National Plant Collection of Geums for kindly donating plants and offering advice in helping us build this new collection.

Our National Plant Collection will be available for people to view, either by appointment or as part of open days to the public organised through The National Garden Scheme.

Dried Flower Wreath Making . Workshops run throughout the year. Please get in touch through our website if you are interested in planning an event.

Last Thursday we ran a flower arranging experience from our premises at The Bath Greenhouse. These events last for around 3 - 3.5 hours and include a tour of our cutting gardens, a recommendation for the types of flowers and foliage to use in an arrangement, how to condition garden stems, an introduction to the principles and elements of floral design and how to apply them to make a gorgeous garden flower arrangement. Although we grow many annual cut flowers in our cutting garden, we do try and focus more on perennial cut flowers in the workshop so that participants who don't have their own greenhouse can introduce appropriate plants to their own gardens. People often leave these events inspired to build their own small cut flower patch which is fabulous. Our next event on 2nd August is fully booked but if you are interested in attending a flower arranging experience please get in touch through our website as we plan to add two more events during August and September. Finally we are pleased to share a short video that captures just three of the lovely designs from our recent workshop.

Kind Words: “Beautiful setting, fantastic instructions and gorgeous flowers. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Thank you!”.
