Join Bunny Guinness for an August tour of her garden, as she takes us from her Mediterranean-inspired inner courtyard through to her vegetable and working gardens.
Bunny begins in the inner courtyard, where she is creating a Mediterranean-style planting scheme. As this is the garden space most visible from the house, Bunny explains why she likes to keep it looking green and lush, while showing us her Plumbago and Stipa gigantea. She also discusses the problems she is currently experiencing with Pennisetum ‘Little Bunny’.
Moving on to the east-facing wall of the office, Bunny looks at her Wisteria and explains her relaxed, low-maintenance approach to pruning. She also talks about training the Wisteria along the south-facing kitchen wall — although its enthusiasm for growing into the gutters is proving rather troublesome! Nearby, we get a glimpse of Rosa banksiae, named after Lady Dorothea Banks, wife of the celebrated botanist Sir Joseph Banks.
As Bunny heads towards her working garden, she stops to look at her Myrtle, which she is keen to take cuttings from. Bunny explains the fascinating tradition behind Myrtle’s inclusion in royal bouquets and its symbolism.
In the vegetable garden, Bunny shows us the aftermath of the damage caused by the Ermine moth to her apple trees. She also demonstrates the ‘Irishman’s cutting’ she takes from her artichokes, with plans to establish more plants in her gravel garden.
Finally, Bunny arrives at her working garden, where we see what she is currently raising in her propagator and hardening off in the greenhouse. Among the plants are Cuban oregano, Salvia ‘Hadspen Pink’, Salvia ‘Scabra’, and a fig cutting taken especially for one of Bunny’s YouTube followers, Michael, which she is nurturing before sending it on to him.
A packed August garden tour full of plants, propagation, pruning, practical gardening advice and plenty of inspiration from Bunny’s own garden.
