Boscobel (Auscousin) brings coral-pink vibrancy to the garden, with richly coloured blooms, glossy foliage and a medium-strong myrrh fragrance. A repeat-flowering English shrub rose for colour and scent from late spring to early autumn. #DavidAustinRoses #rosewednesday

Today is the day ! I am Launching my new project ONE PATCH WILD The idea is beautifully simple. Dedicate a small area of your garden to nature. Let native flowers bloom, allow grasses to seed, add a log pile, or simply mow less often. What may look untidy to some can become a thriving ecosystem supporting local wildlife. You don’t need acres of land. You don’t need specialist knowledge. You just need one patch. Imagine if thousands of gardeners each gave back a few square metres to nature. Together, we could create a network of mini nature reserves stretching across towns, villages, and cities a living corridor for wildlife. I will be posting garden plans and planting lists each week, ideas and results. Please share if you can find a little minute in your day. We can make difference if we hold hands. @BenGoldsmith @GWandShows @GdnsIllustrated @CountryfileMag @HighgroveGarden
