Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

There are times of year when minimalism and restraint can be watchwords in the garden, bringing with them a sense of tranquil serenity. I’m not convinced it’s worth striving for this while surrounded by the effervescence of summer – best just to go with the energy of the season and embrace the rampant growth all around. And so while a swathes of the burnet Sanguisorba ‘Tanna’ might seem a little noisy – all crazy hair and raspberry beads – somehow it seems perfectly to capture the moment. Just add golden evening light and sangria.
