Take time out

Agapanthus inapertus 'Sky'

It’s almost time for #GardensHour! Today we welcome AUGUST into our gardens, and for our #SixWeeksOfColour this week we are celebrating YELLOW themes in our gardens. See you back here in 30mins!

Hi #GardensHour! For this week's theme of yellow in #sixweeksofcolour, we'd like to nominate the Great Yellow Bumblebee. #gardeningx #gardeningforwildlife

GardensHour Good evening all. Here's my #yellow selection for #SixWeeksOfColour from the archive. #GardensHour

Beautiful Conpact Marjoram, holding its own in a corner of the raised bed - loved by bees, gorgeous flowers and a great flavour too 🐝🫶🏻

Sunflower Dwarf Yellow Spray and a random but still lovely self-seeded plant. #GardensHour #sixweeksofcolour #gardeningforwildlife #gardeningx

Fennel and willow, I like the contrasts in form and colour. GardensHour #GardensHour #Gardening #Garden

Dianthus knappii on the dining terrace, a lovely pale yellow. #Yellow #GardensHour #Garden #Gardening GardensHour

Yet there are so many people across the UK: speakers/writers/gardening consultants like myself, artists, musicians, performers, etc regularly asked to work without any payment. It is just wrong & that attitude needs to change.

Climbing Fuchsia 'Lady Boothby' is getting larger and we're starting to fan train it in the secret garden. The idea behind this tiny garden nook, is to be a small jewel box. #Garden #Gardening #Gardeningx

The problem is gardens don't occur in an isolated bubble, they reflect the environment and those who care and look after both the built and natural environment. When those I follow are also receiving hate it's hard to ignore and shouldn't be ignored.
