Despite one of the most challenging gardening years in recent memory, some plants have not only survived—they've flourished.
Join Bunny Guinness as she takes you on a tour of her own garden, highlighting the trees, shrubs and perennials that are thriving despite this year's extremes, from flash flooding to prolonged spells of intense summer heat.
Discover why silver willows, alders and even pomegranates are performing so well, and take inspiration from her daughter Unity's beautiful olive trees, which are flourishing in bottomless pots in a small town courtyard.
Bunny also shares some of her favourite resilient roses, including Rosa 'Blush Noisette' and Rosa 'Kew Beauty', before showing the reliable performers that continue to shine whatever the weather. From euphorbias and persicarias to hardy geraniums, verbenas and elegant members of the umbellifer family, these are the plants proving their worth in a year of climatic extremes.
Whether you're looking for inspiration for a more resilient garden or simply want to see what's looking spectacular right now, this tour is packed with practical advice, beautiful planting and plenty of ideas for gardens of every size.
