Dreaming of Plants can be seen as a symbol of new found growth and development in your life. By seeing green plants in your garden implies you have waited for the right time for this moment to flourish; symbolically connected to relationships, business, spirituality and your connection with your higher self. This particular blog is for my elder sister who moved house and garden last year to a substantially different climate. This gave her a blank canvas, although she took many favourite plants with her. Whilst many of the items are from the list I asked her to write, others are based on my knowledge of her and her gardening over the years. Circular paving seen in the Ribbon Wheel garden by Butter Wakefield Butter Wakefield via Society of Garden Designers including Acer Palmatum ‘bloodgood’ and Acer Palmatum Orido Nishiki. This latter is a less common variegated cultivar with pink and white foliage in spring, changing to pink and vibrant green in autumn. But, importantly, before you proceed with any redesigns or updates, take a look at your garden as a whole, says Andrew Kyte at The Chelsea Gardener: 'Find out as much as you can about the garden's position, direction and outlook. Not only will this affect planting, it can dictate how you use your space.'

Potatoes are a huge staple in most people's diets. Maincrop varieties, which are in the ground a lot longer than others, should be harvested from late August through to October. The garden needs to be dog friendly too, so a lawn to play fetch on will be essential. It’s probably a good idea to include a digging area (somewhere for bones to ‘season’).

Also available is a standalone gazebo kit which transforms a standard veranda into a stunning and contemporary gazebo. Remember, narrow, low-planted beds can define seating or dining areas, as can lines of planted-up troughs – choose evergreen scented plants, such as lavender or Mexican orange blossom. Containers offer the most flexibility though, allowing you to move them around however suits. ' Creeping rosemary is a great plant for edging in containers, as it trails rather than growing upright, is evergreen and covered in blue flowers in spring,' says Tony Woods, managing director of garden design company Garden Club London. Most perennials benefit from division every two years but this can be done more regularly. They can be divided successfully at almost any time as long as they are kept well-watered afterwards. But it is best to wait until the plants are not in active growth. Dianthus– also known as fragrant pinks, these are cottage garden stalwarts. They are perfect to edge a sunny path where their clove-like scent can delight the nose. We’ll have these near the summer house and the pergola too, with a preponderance of the more traditional varieties such as ‘Doris’ and ‘Mrs Simpkins’. Since dreams speak to us in symbols and metaphors the garden in your dream becomes a part of you that has the potential to grow and flourish.If you haven’t already done so, you should also think about sowing a suitable lettuce cultivar, such as ‘Valdor’, for overwintering in a cold frame for early cutting next spring. But the jobs do not stop there.
