September Small Space Garden Tour: Romance and Glowing Beauty in our Container Display

It’s September and bee-beguiling blooms and autumnal romance is in the air! We recently read that Youtube was originally conceived as a dating platform where people could upload videos of themselves describing the partner of their dreams.This put us in a whimsical mood: what if our garden was profiled on a dating site … How would it describe itself? What are its attractive features and what flaws would it own up to? So our September tour through the dazzling dahlias, autumnal begonias, crimped cosmos and punchy pink cyclamen is conducted as a sort of dating site application. Would you want a date with our garden? We also visit a pretty autumn landscape offering perennial perfection at RHS Wisley, designed by Piet Oudolf.
