Leaving the grass in your garden to grow long from late spring through to late summer brings many benefits - long grass can support many insects, and it can look highly attractive too. As periods of drought look set to become more common, having a grass meadow can avoid unsightly brown patches. It also frees up time that would have been spent on a weekly mow, so what's not to like! If you like to keep things looking neat, try mowing a strip around an area of long grass, or mow a path through it. Our maintenance client in Bisley is fully onboard with this idea, and the combination of wilder areas with more traditional cottage planting creates a wonderfully bucolic scene! #gardenlove #gardening #gardensofinstagram #gardenlife #gardens #wildlifegarden #biodiversity #beefriendlygarden #insectfriendlygarden #gardenforclimatechange #naturalgarden #greengarden #biodiversity #beefriendlygarden #insectfriendlygarden #gardenforclimatechange #naturalgarden #greengarden #cotswolds #cotswoldsgarden #cotswoldgarden #cotswoldslife #cotswoldlife #cottagegarden #nomowmay

No cottage garden would be complete without at least one cherry tree! This cherry is one of the loveliest features of this garden in Bisley, one of our regular maintenance jobs. It always cheers us up when we see it in bloom in the spring. Although they are at their most spectacular in spring, they offer something all year round, providing dappled shade in the summer, leaf colour in the autumn, and many have interesting bark texture to provide interest in the winter. #cherrytree #cherryblossom #gardenlove #gardening #gardensofinstagram #gardenlife #gardens #plants #treestagram #cottagegarden #cottagelife #cottagecore #englishcountrygarden #countrygarden #cotswolds #cotswoldsgarden #cotswoldgarden #cotswoldslife #cotswoldlife #bisley

One of the key tasks for our garden maintenance client in Bisley, is the pruning of a large Banksia rose that clothes the outside of their beautiful Cotswolds house.

Five years ago, we came to the rescue of this Cotswold garden in Bisley.

Our little sand & rubble meadow at the front. Its intriguing seeing the different combinations come up each year as things grow, battle each other, pass over and set seed. It was desperate to become a patch of buddleja in the first year, which could've worked. But we whipped these out and last year we had waves of Dianthus, Erygium, Campanula and Asters. This year we'll have to wait and see #meadow #novelecosystems #rubble #brownfield #sandplant

As we mentioned in our post yesterday, grasses and perennials are great for year-round interest, and are a low-maintenance option. Once they've had their annual cut-back in early spring, the clippings can be cut up and left in situ as a mulch. As well as benefitting the soil, young invertebrates can also shelter in the clippings. #gardendesign #plantingdesign #gardeninspiration #plantinginspiration #landscapedesign #gardenlove #gardening #gardensofinstagram #gardenlife #gardens #plants #flowers #horticulture #naturalgarden #naturalisticgarden #naturalisticplanting #winter #wintergarden #winterplanting

Choosing structural grasses and perennials for your borders means having months of interest during winter, and the seedheads can provide food for birds. They're also ideal for low-maintenance schemes, as they only need cutting back once a year, usually in early spring, just before the new foliage emerges. #gardendesign #plantingdesign #gardeninspiration #plantinginspiration #landscapedesign #gardenlove #gardening #gardensofinstagram #gardenlife #gardens #plants #flowers #horticulture #naturalgarden #naturalisticgarden #naturalisticplanting #winter #wintergarden #winterplanting
