I've just come back from the perfect late winter's walk - crisp but with more than a hint of Spring in the air! - and I was, again, reminded how completely scrumptiously exciting this time of year is garden-wise. What better opportunity could there be to share another of my favourite Modern Country Garden planting companions. And today's star turn is the Megan Markle and Prince Harry of any Modern Country Garden: alliums and lavender.
The glamorous, firecracker nature of the aliums sets off the soft, country timlessness of the lavender.
Can you see that aliums show off lavender so completely perfectly: in colour, in form and in height: just feast your eyes on these fabulous examples!
I'm particularly jiggly this year because we've come to the end of the back-breaking digging out of our own garden. Can you feel my relief? I hope it's almost tangible through your screen! It's been unbelievably hard work - hundreds of years of concrete and large stones - and we've done it ourselves in order to save money to put into a new kitchen!
Which means it's VERY nearly time to bring in the top soil, bring in the grass and then...to get planting!!
Can I get a MASSIVE Hallelujah, please?
{Cue angels singing}
I've visualised our beautiful space outside for so long that, in my head, it's become a place to escape to already in my head! I can almost smell the lavender wafting on the balmy evening breeze...
beautiful things make me happy
I think it's time to put what's in my head out into the real world!
And will this pefect Modern Country Garden partnership of aliums and lavender feature in our new garden?
You betcha!
Take care until next time,
Sarahx
