Why we no longer want south-facing gardens
A south-facing garden providing guaranteed all-day sun has long been a sought-after feature of a home, with the potential to add thousands onto the value of a property. Hotter and drier summers, however, are starting to dent that desirability. A survey by property specialist Regency Living found that, particularly among the over-50s, the relative cool of a north-facing garden is actually the preferred choice. With age comes great wisdom. After all, what's the point of having a garden if it's too hot to enjoy it? Landscape designer Miria Harris agrees that north-facing gardens have a lot to recommend them. 'Many are big enough that you can get the benefit of the south-facing aspect from the east and west,' she points out. 'Then you can then decide when you want to go and sit in the sunnier side of the garden, instead of feeling oppressed by it.' But while most gardeners feel confident choosing plants that require full sun, a shadier garden, by contrast, requires a little more thought and consideration. Right plant, right place You may love lavender, but without full sun, it doesn't stand a chance. Deciding what to plant in partial or full shade makes Beth Chatto's ethos 'right plant, right place' essential. In 1987, Chatto created her Woodland Garden in Essex, planting spring bulbs such as snowdrops, hellebores and daffodils beneath the shade cast by a copse of oak trees. Today, head gardener Åsa Gregers-Warg's advice is to embrace shade, rather than look at it as a problem. 'See it as an opportunity to make a wonderful tapestry of foliage: a symphony of green, interspersed with a splash of white, cream or gold, where a multitude of textures, shapes and forms will provide ongoing interest through the seasons,' she says. 'Even in the smallest of spaces it's possible to create simple yet striking combinations by combining bold foliage such as hosta or brunnera with more delicate, fine-textured ferns, grasses and perennials.' Urban shade Due to neighbouring walls, trees and tower blocks, urban gardens generally have a degree of shade, no matter what their aspect. Susanna Grant is a planting designer who specialises in plants for shady spaces. She runs Linda, a dappled courtyard space in Hackney, east London, that sells shade-loving plants. ' So many people just assume those shady bits aren't plantable, so they put the shed, bikes or storage there, particularly in side returns,' she says. 'But these can be the most beautiful, verdant areas of the garden. They tend to need less watering and maintenance as the plants are often more slow-growing.' She has turned the side return of her own home into a woodland copse: 'I have about 10 spindly trees (including hazel, spindle, crab apple and hawthorn), all bought as bare-root hedging plants for a few quid, as well as ferns, climbers, raspberries and flowering perennials, all growing in planters. I look out at it from the kitchen and the bathroom and it gives me a lot of joy.' Solutions for full shade For a courtyard garden or an enclosed lower-ground-floor space that never gets any direct sunlight, then you may have to refine your planting palette further. For the light-challenged gardens Harris has designed, she has found that the following formula works. Plant a climber Her first tip is to embrace climbers that will find their way to the sun. Parthenocissus henryana (Chinese Virginia creeper) or Trachelospermum jasminoides work well: 'It may not flower down in the very shady bits but it will start to clamber up,' she says. Her favourite climber for a shady corner is a plant called Holboellia coriacea (sausage vine): 'I've had lots of success at growing that up walls in very shady gardens.' A mistake she sees often is the use of ivy to green up a shady area: while it works on a fence and is great for wildlife, plant it near brickwork and it can wreak havoc. Make ferns pop Ferns excel in full-shade locations, particularly damp ones, adding a textural element to gardens and finding nooks and crannies to explode out of. Harris likes to combine three or four types of fern with astrantia growing through. 'You have these delicate flowery moments through the evergreen ferns; that can be a really good way of bringing a bit of interest into a shady corner,' she says. Think spring bulbs A shady garden won't win prizes for its exotic flowers, but there's no reason you can't bring interest into a shady garden early in the season with some shade-happy spring bulbs. ' Camassia leichtlinii can grow well in shade, as can Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant', which looks like a giant snowdrop,' says Harris. Reach for the sky If you want to introduce some height for the eye then consider a potted tree. Acer trees (Japanese maples) can grow in shade, although their foliage colour might be less intense in deeper shade. If you are looking for a less obviously Asian aesthetic, Harris recommends cornus (dogwood), particularly the Japanese dogwood, Cornus kousa. Don't discount roses Roses are not the first flowers one thinks about when it comes to filling a shady spot, 'but some roses are really good for north-facing gardens and partial shade', says Harris. 'We often have this old-fashioned idea of rose beds looking polite and neat, but Sarah Raven underplants some of her trees with roses. You can take some risks.' A classic rose for a north-facing wall is 'Madame Alfred Carrière'. 'It has an incredible scent, flowers well and is great for wildlife,' says Harris. If you're looking for something different: 'David Austin will tell you if the rose can cope with partial shade and what aspect it can cope with.'

Destruction of 100-year-old pōhutukawa 'a travesty'
Ballance Street resident Kirsty Porter gives the remnants of the century old pōhutukawa a hug. It should not have been cut down, she and other New Plymouth residents say. Photo: RNZ/ Robin Martin An award-winning landscape designer has weighed into a stoush over the felling of a 100-year-old pōhutukawa to clear it from powerlines in New Plymouth. Michael Mansvelt says the multi-trunk tree could have been managed and kept, but has instead been sacrificed, part of a pattern he believes is being repeated across a city famed for its gardens. Award-winning designer Michael Mansvelt says the destruction of a 100-year-old pōhutukawa tree in New Plymouth is 'a travesty'. Photo: RNZ/ Robin Martin The chainsaws of Powerco contractors came for the 15-metre high pōhutukawa on Ballance Street during last week's downpour. The tree had fallen victim to a dispute over who was responsible for maintaining it - the homeowner - whose berm it was growing on - or the council. The overgrown pōhutukawa tree being removed. Photo: RNZ/Robin Martin Michael Mansvelt - who had been in the design business for three decades and was the author of several books - was gutted at its demise. "It's really sad. I feel really frustrated. We're a garden city. We are known all around the world for excellence in horticulture. People come here to enjoy Taranaki and New Plymouth Ngāmotu especially for our gardens, and the fact that this tree is gone is a travesty and it didn't need to happen." He believed the pōhutukawa could have been made safe without destroying it. "These trees are metrosideros is the name which means ironwood. In Cyclone Bola, when I was a very young gardener it was the pōhutukawa and Norfolk pines that weren't affected. "We know that selective pruning could've easily removed branches that were anywhere near the powerlines. I note two or three limbs that could've been removed very easily without destroying the canopy." Mansvelt says the selective pruning of pūriri trees near the pōhutukawa was an example of good arbory practice. Photo: RNZ/ Robin Martin Mansvelt said it was ironic that pūriri trees lining neighbouring Selwyn Street just a few metres away had been selectively trimmed to keep them out of powerlines. "This one of our only tree-lined streets here in New Plymouth and we've got some beautiful pūriri here, but they've been limbed really effectively, they've been limbed away from the power line, so anything that was approaching the power lines has been cut off right at the base and that means it won't grow back. This is what we would call in the industry good horticultural or good arbory practice." Trees are frequently trimmed to keep them away from powerlines, without needing to take down the whole tree, Mansvelt says. Photo: RNZ/ Robin Martin Alana Brough, who was quoted $10,000 to have the pōhutukawa trimmed, owns the Ballance Street property. The daughter of district councillor and mayoral aspirant Max Brough, she said the tree was on council land - but the NPDC would concede it straddled the public land and her property. Alana Brough had been battling the council over the giant pōhutukawa. Photo: RNZ / Robin Martin Brough would have preferred a more aesthetically pleasing outcome. "I think it could've been sculptured and made a little bit smaller so it wasn't posing a risk to the power lines, but the fact the council wanted nothing to do with it meant it was really hard to come to a mutual resolution, so Powerco have then come in and done what they think is right, that doesn't mean to say that suits everyone's opinion as we're finding out." Brough said it was unclear if Powerco contractors would return to remove "the ugly stump", but if they didn't it would soon start to sprout again and at that point it could be maintained into a safer tree. Kirsty Porter lived across the road where she had a view from her living room of the tree her children had grown up playing in. She was not happy. Ballance Street resident Kirsty Porter's children grew up playing in the pōhutukawa. Photo: Supplied/ Kirsty Porter "I was shocked that was happening, that the entire tree was coming down rather than being trimmed. But here we are," Porter said. "It happened on the worst weather day in New Plymouth, which was also a surprise given that one of the reasons given ... was a safety issue with the tree. "I was grateful for the heavens actually, because I think they were proving a point that the tree shouldn't have been cut down completely." Mansvelt said there had to be a better way. "Looking at this case I feel that everybody could've compromised a bit more. I feel like there should be room for negotiation and there should be room for a discussion. "The council have admitted it was a grey area, it was questionably on their land, but just to carte blanche cut a tree down just makes no real sense. This is a 100-year-old tree." The stump of the pōhutukawa tree. Photo: RNZ/Robin Martin In a statement, New Plymouth District Council parks and open spaces manager Conrad Pattison was adamant that the council - with 3000 street trees and countless specimen trees in parks, reserves and on other land it administers - was not responsible for the Ballance Street pōhutukawa. "We didn't plant the tree, nor did we seek its removal. As it is primarily on private land and is not protected, the landowner can have it removed at their own cost." Meanwhile, Powerco said trees caused one in five power cuts on its electricity network each year. "Overgrown trees interfere with power lines and make it difficult for our crews to restore power, also in high winds and storms, branches blowing into power lines cause power outages." The lines company said tree owners were responsible for maintaining their trees and when a tree posed an immediate danger, Powerco must have consent from the tree owner to undertake mitigative action. "Trees that have a history of interrupting power supply and pose an ongoing risk to the network that have not [been] maintained according to tree owner obligations are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Tree owner consent to undertake mitigative actions is still required. "Regarding the pōhutukawa on Ballance Street, the decision to remove the tree was based on the balance of risk and impact to the electricity network." Powerco said through its Replant for Tomorrow initiative, it had an ongoing commitment to supporting native tree planting in communities on its network. "Last year, more than 18,000 trees were planted to help offset the trees that were removed from around the network that were growing too close to the power lines.".

Garden pro's £3.99 fast-growing flower from Lidl blooms all summer & brings ‘romance' to your outside space
THINK of lush blooms swaying gently, winding soft stone footpaths inviting you to who knows where and the rustling sound of grasses nodding along in the breeze. Butterflies zig zag from scented clematis and roses to foxgloves and jasmine climbing round your door - as water softly gurgles from a fountain. 3 3 3 Sound good? Then you'll probably be a fan of romantic gardens. They've been around for about 300 years - initially designed as a reaction to the strict formal, geometrical designs that went before them. But what's great - and why they're emerging as a serious trend this year - is that they're easy to create in your outside space, look stunning - and promote positive mental health. Garden designer Nilufer Danis is building a romantic garden called 'The Three Graces of Galicia' at RHS Hampton flower show - which starts on Tuesday - and is a big advocate for creating beautiful, serene spaces that evoke a sense of calm and wellbeing but are also designed with the environment in mind. She told Sun Gardening how to create your own. 'Forget about the more contemporary geometric shapes - and think more organic - like winding paths, with shaded covers like a pavilion, pergola, or lots of trellis", she said. 'You're aiming for lots of climbers - like roses, star of jasmine, lavenders and perennials like salvia - and you want scented flowers rather than evergreens and green foliage plants. 'And water fountains - with their nice trickle of water - are not only lovely, but birds and insects like them. 'Pastel colours are really important - they give a dreamy feel - and it's not very clean and neat - it should be more overgrown' Alan Titchmarsh's top 7 plants that 'transform ugly fences with gorgeous flowers & fragrance' & they grow for years From Tuesday, Lidl will be selling an English Lavender collection of three pots, for £3.99. While Crocus has got pots of Salvia 'Victoria Blue' for £3.50 - reduced from £6.99. English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) generally blooms from mid-summer to late summer. French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) can bloom in flushes from late spring to late summer, especially if pruned after each flush. Nilufer's Romantic Garden at Hampton celebrates the power of literature, identity, and resilience through the legacy of three iconic 19th-century Spanish women — Rosalía de Castro, Emilia Pardo Bazán, and Concepción Arenal. She added ''I wanted to create a space that celebrates strength, resilience, and the transformative power of ideas. This garden is a tribute to Galicia's rich literary and natural heritage — and an invitation for reflection on identity, justice, and the role of women in shaping the world." Her plant list includes - Camellia japonica - chosen for it's glossy leaves and large colourful blooms are common in Galcian gardens - Hydrangea macrophylla 'Endless Summer' thrives in Galicia's cool, moist climate - Rosa 'The Ancient Mariner' and Rose 'Empress Josephine' - to add fragrance, timeless beauty and a touch of history - Polystichum setiferum - is low maintenance and supports biodiversity - Tall topiary trees (Carpinus betulus) Also in Veronica's column this week News, top tips and a competition to win a Blackstone Griddle outdoor oven NEWS!

George Lucas' spaceship of a museum lands in L.A. with a wonderful surprise
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, rising on what used to be a parking lot in Exposition Park in downtown L.A., is devoted to visual storytelling: the comics of Charles M. Schulz ('Peanuts') and Alex Raymond ('Flash Gordon'), movie concept art by Neal Adams ('Batman') and Ralph McQuarrie ('Star Wars'), paintings by Frida Kahlo and Jacob Lawrence, photography by Gordon Parks and Dorothea Lange, illustrations by Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth. So when George Lucas and wife Mellody Hobson chose Mia Lehrer and her L.A. firm, Studio-MLA, to design the 11 acres of landscape around — and on top of — MAD Architects' swirling, otherworldly, billion-dollar building, the driving forces behind the Lucas Museum made it clear that the landscape had to tell a story too. Lehrer and her team studied how directors, illustrators and painters use topography to help amplify, among other things, emotion, sequence and storyline. Read more: Mia Lehrer: Designer making beauty out of blight 'We looked at the landscapes of myths and movies,' said Kush Parekh, a principal at Studio-MLA. 'How do you take someone on a journey through space? How does the terrain change the story — and how can it be the story?' The result — which feels surprisingly grown-in even though the museum won't open until next year — is a sinuous, eclectic landscape that unfolds in discrete vignettes, all promoting exploration and distinct experience. Each zone contains varied textures, colors, scales and often framed views. A shaded walkway curls along a meandering meadow and lifts you toward a hilly canyon. A footbridge carries you above a developing conifer thicket. A plant-covered trellis, known as "the hanging garden,' provides a more compressed moment of pause. The environment, like a good story, continually shifts tone and tempo. 'It's episodic,' Parekh said. 'Each biome reveals something new, each path hints at what's ahead without giving it away.' A key theme of the story is the diverse terrain of California — a place that, in Lehrer's words, 'contains more varied environments in a single day's drive than most countries do in a week.' Foothills and valleys, groves and canyons, even the mesas, plateaus and plains of the Sierra and the Central Valley — Lehrer calls all of it a 'choreography of place.' Another, more subtle, layer of this narrative is time. Plantings were laid out to bloom in different seasons and in different places. Bright yellow 'Safari Goldstrike' leucadendron, edging the meadow and canyon, come alive in late winter and early spring. Tall jacarandas, spied from a foothills overlook, emerge then quickly disappear. 'Bee's Bliss' sage, lying low in the oak woodland, turn lavender blue in the early summer. Something is always emerging, something else fading. 'Every month, every visit, feels different,' Parekh said. Even the alpine-inspired plantings cladding the museum's roof — colorful wildflowers, long sweeping grasses and coarse scrubs, all chosen for their hardiness, lightness and shallow roots — follow this rhythm. 'They're alive. They change. They move with the climate,' Lehrer said. Amazingly, the rest of the landscape is a kind of green roof as well, sitting atop a 2,400-spot underground parking structure — available to those visiting the Lucas or any of Expo Park's other institutions. Wedged between the greenery and the parking are thousands of foam blocks, mixed with soil and sculpted to form the landscape while minimizing weight on the building below. 'I wish I had invested in foam before we started this,' joked Angelo Garcia, president of Lucas Real Estate Holdings. 'It's everywhere. These mountains were created with foam.' 'It's full-scale ecology sitting on top of a structural system,' noted Michael Siegel, senior principal at Stantec, the museum's architect of record, responsible for its technical oversight and implementation. 'That's how the best storytelling works,' Lehrer added. 'You don't see the mechanics. You just feel the effect.' As you make your way through the rolling landscape, it becomes clear that it's also crafted to meld with MAD's sculptural design — a hovering, eroded form, itself inspired by the clouds, hills and other natural forms of Los Angeles. 'There's a dialogue,' Garcia said. Paths bend instead of cut; curving benches — cast in smooth, gently tapering concrete — echo the museum's fiber-reinforced cement roofline. Bridges arc gently over bioswales and berms. Ramps rise like extensions of the building's base. Paving stones reflect the color and texture of the museum's facade. 'It was never landscape next to building,' Lehrer said. 'It was building as landscape, and landscape as structure. One continuous form.' Closer to the building, where a perimeter mass damper system that the design team has nicknamed the 'moat' protects the museum from seismic activity, landscape nestles against, and seemingly under, the structure's edges, further blurring the barrier between the two. Rows of mature trees being planted now will help soften the flanks. Vines will hang from the Lucas' floating oculus, right above its entry court. The topography was designed to minimize environmental impact. Hundreds of plants, mostly native to the region, are drought-tolerant (or at least require little watering). A rain-harvesting system captures water for irrigation. And on the north edge of the museum will be 'The Rain,' a waterfall that doubles as a passive cooling system, replacing traditional air-conditioning infrastructure. (Dozens of underground geothermal wells provide additional cooling.) In this part of South L.A., park space is egregiously scarce, a remnant of redlining and disinvestment. This space — set to be open to the public without a ticket, from dawn to dusk — is a game changer, as is a massive green space on Expo Park's south side that also replaces a surface parking lot and tops an underground garage. (That latter project has been delayed until after the 2028 Olympics.) 'It's hotter, it's denser and it's long been overlooked. We wanted to change that,' Lehrer said of the area. What was once a walled-off asphalt lot is a porous public space, linking Expo Park to the rest of the neighborhood via its four east-west pathways and opening connections on the north side to Jesse Brewer Jr. Park, which the Lucas Museum has paid to upgrade. The museum also funded the creation to the south of the new Soboroff Sports Field, which replaces a field that was adjacent to the site's parking lot. The Lucas' circular plaza and amphitheater with seating for hundreds, have the potential not only to host museum events but also to become popular community gathering spots. Read more: Dreamers built a 1920s utopia in the Palisades. How remnants of that Chautauqua movement survived the fire For Lehrer, the landscape is a convergence of civic and ecological ideas that she's developed throughout her career — really ever since a chance encounter with the intricate original drawings for Central Park while she was studying at the Harvard Graduate School of Design spurred her to pivot from planning to landscape architecture. At this point, she's created arguably more major new public spaces in Los Angeles than any other designer, including two vibrantly didactic landscapes at the adjacent Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, downtown's 10-acre Vista Hermosa Park and the artfully layered grounds and lake surrounding SoFi Stadium. 'This brings everything together,' she said. 'Design, ecology, storytelling, infrastructure, community. It's the fullest expression of what landscape can be.' Lehrer credits Lucas with not just permitting her to explore these ideas but encouraging her to push them further. Lucas supported the rare — and costly — installation of mature plantings. Usually the landscape is the last part of a building to emerge. The progress in the grounds is a bright spot for the museum, which has been grappling with construction delays, the surprise departure of its executive director and, most recently, the layoffs of 15 full-time and seven part-time employees, part of a restructuring that a museum official said was 'to ensure we open on time next year.' As the new building accelerates toward that opening, the vision outside is becoming more clear. Read more: Inside the $351.5-million makeover coming to L.A.'s Exposition Park 'To have an open-minded client, who gets landscape and also appreciates creativity, it's rare,' Lehrer said. Lucas, who grew up on a farm in Modesto, has been developing the vineyards, gardens and olive groves of his Skywalker Ranch in Northern California for decades. 'I have always wanted to be surrounded by trees and nature,' Lucas said. 'The museum's backyard is meant to provide a respite in a hectic world.'
