St Wilfrid’s Procession The St Wilfrid procession around the city of Ripon in honour of Ripon’s patron saint goes back to the year 1108, when King Henry I granted permission to hold a fair to mark the birth of St Wilfrid on 30th July.

Now, in the 51st year in its present form, our procession is led by a Riponian playing Saint Wilfridriding his white horse accompanied by other ‘Riponian’ monks. They are followed by colourful, noisy and entertaining floats created by local companies, schools, community groups, clubs, and streets. Bands, Morris dancers and the Wakeman of Ripon also join the throng. The fun and exuberance on the floats spill into the crowds and create a great day out. There are plenty of bars and eating places ready and waiting to make your day a wonderful visit to the City of Ripon.

There are children’s rides and stalls in the Market Square and entertainment (music and dancing) while you wait for the procession. This year we hope to repeat last year’s resurrection of the traditional Wilfrid tart (apple-andWensleydale-cheese pies) competition.

Watch out for local shop windows decorated to the theme of the procession.

Many roads are closed to allow floats and visitors freedom of the city. The floats assemble at Studley road at 1:45 and move into the market place. A map of the route and timings for each stop will be put on appropriate lamp posts so you can follow the fun easily. The procession culminates in a short and exuberant service at the Cathedral at 4.30pm. The service includes the judging of the floats and awarding of prizes for the most imaginative creations.

Don’t miss --- Saturday 3rd August. See you there.

Timothy Campbell Landscapes is a small, local business. We specialise in creating unique garden areas that are full of character. Here are pictures of two contrasting projects we’ve been working on this year:

Nature in t

Naturalistic This garden incorporates curves and natural materials, resulting in an inviting, natural area for the family and entertaining. Here we made sweet chestnut benches, local gritstone dry stone walls and feature boulders, limestone gabion retaining walls and reclaimed sleeper embankments. Feature pieces include a circular fire pit, a willow weave hedge, a circular dry stone sunken sun pit and a weathered beech stump.

contemporary

This garden uses sharp, stylish lines to give a sleek, designer feel.

Beautiful materials including red cedar, blue sandstone, stainless steel and resin gravel were used among soft planting and led

lighting. Focal points include an outdoor gas fire pit, slate monoliths, led lit water feature and floating step detail. Incorporating lighting makes this garden accessible day or night.

the Garden Summer is here and our gardens are burgeoning with plants, wildlife and possibilities! The recent combination of warm weather, mixed with occasional rain, has triggered an explosion of colour and activity. The flora and fauna is making up for lost time, following the cool spring, and you can almost see the plants growing! It’s an exciting and beautiful time in your garden.

It is possible to create your own individual ‘forbidden’ garden areas. To do this, you need to establish what feel and function you are looking for. You can then put an individual twist on this using form. For example, it can make good design sense to build in one off pieces of sculpture into your garden. It makes the space feel special as well as creating a focal point that is unique to your garden. Why not try using natural materials for a traditional garden or stylish, manmade objects for a more

contemporary feel.

It is possible to blend nature with contemporary design. This often results in surprisingly breathtaking, modern and functional spaces.

In order to create new areas and habitats you can use layers of hard structures and planting. For example, combinations of plants can create dappled shade, nectar rich flower beds or aquatic marginal habitats. Each of these will aid particular sets of wildlife such as small mammals, bumblebees, hedgehogs and aquatic life.

Hard structures such as ponds lined with dry stone, hardwood pergolas or garden walls will add different environments for plants to grow in, thus producing intricate and complex habitats in which different types of nature can flourish. Not only does this make your garden healthier, it’s also good for you too. Besides, it sounds really complicated but nature quickly takes the lead and does the work for you.

For an informal chat about your garden space and how it can be transformed through tailored, individual design then please contact Timothy Campbell Landscapes (BSc (Hons) Environmental Conservation) on 07739071012 or visit: www.timothycampbelllandscapes.co.uk Happy Gardening!

Plants in Focus:

3 Summer Secrets

Greater sea kale – Crambe cordifolia A hardy, herbaceous perennial growing up to 2.5m tall. This large plant has dinner plate sized bold, dark green, lobed leaves with branched sprays (pannicles) of small, scented white flowers and is great for wildlife.

Water avens – Geum rivale This clump forming, perennial likes to grow in damp, shady areas. Bees often visit this plant and it is native to Britain. Rivale produces small, drooping pink flowers and burr-like seeds.

Leopard plant – Ligularia przewalskii ‘the rocket’ This hardy perennial is a striking architectural plant.

In summer, the 1.8m tall black stems are topped by dense racemes of small deep yellow flowers. Ligularia loves sunlight but will need regular watering.

Wildlife Corner – Summer Jobs • Keep topping up birdbaths and feeders. Birds are breeding so avoid large foodstuffs, such as peanuts, that could choke small fledglings.

• As a general rule, single flowers are better for wildlife than doubles. Insects are better able to access nectar and pollen in the more loosely arranged singles. Therefore, when at the local garden centre try to pick out single, nectar rich plants when stocking your garden.

• There are many types of bees and they have varying feeding habits. It is a good idea to try to cater for as many types as possible by planting a range of nectar rich plants. Within these plants some will suit bees with smaller tongues and some with the larger nectar gathering mouthparts. Therefore, introduce many and varied plants to your borders.

• Stag Horn beetles (below, left), among other invertebrates, require suitable habitats in which to thrive. Providing an area of rotting wood and leaf litter will help these beetles. Remember that due to the life cycle of a Stag Horn larvae you must leave this area undisturbed for many years so choose your position with care and add extra wood as the pile decays. If you see an adult beetle then you’re doing it right!

• Collecting rainwater is good practice in your garden. Through May to September plants will run low on water.

If you set up a water butt to collect run off from your house or greenhouse roof you will be surprised how much you can gather. Rainwater is also the best thing to top ponds up with as it stimulates less algal growth than tap-water.

Make Over for the Jennyruth Gift Shop

“Over the past few months I have had the great pleasure of working with the inspirational leadership team, volunteers and workers at Jennyruth Workshops. It has become very clear to all at the Workshops that my skills with a scroll saw and paint brush require much further training. I am therefore very excited to be given the opportunity to work with the team using those skills I have in business management and development.

I recognise the unique culture and importance of Jennyruth Workshops and will strive to preserve and enhance this. Thank you for welcoming me on board.”

The Jennyruth Gift Shop needed a new look and a request for solid wood furniture was e-mailed to all their supporters. The thought was to replace the existing display furniture and create a new ambience in the shop so customers would feel like they were walking into an Aladdin’s Cave and they could seek out the treasures that Jennyruth Workshops make and sell.

The supporters have been fantastic and emails and phone calls came in for offers of furniture for Jennyruth Workshops to up cycle. This is work in progress and they are taking time and care to get the look right. They are going for a distressed look to the furniture and a team of Workers, staff and volunteers have been getting to work on the pieces. Some of the furniture, which can’t be used in the shop will also have time, love and craftsmanship spent on it and will be sold on eBay or at auction. New painting skills are being practised and carpentry skills are being used to up cycle the pieces.

The 27th and 28th of July 2013 is the “Yorkshire Welcome Showcase” weekend.

The Showcase is all about celebrating everything that is great about Yorkshire, the food, the drink, the people and the businesses. The picturesque country town of Thirsk (the gateway to the Yorkshire moors) is the ideal location for this event, which will be centred in the traditional Market Place, giving it a rural yet welcoming feeling that Yorkshire is so good at giving.

Following on from last year’s successful event, this, the 2nd year of the event and is again aimed at the promotion of Yorkshire businesses, produce, crafts and skills, people and stunning countryside.

The Market Place will be full of colourful mini marquees selling different types of products from breads, cakes and sweets to hot food, chutneys and jams. Local drinks manufacturers will have samples for you to try and buy. There will also be crafts items and natural beauty products made locally from local ingredients.

During the 2 day event, the outdoor cookery theatre allows both celebrity and local chefs to display their skills. We already have TV celebrity chef Steph Moon, local chef Matt Layte and butcher Andrew Trueman, who will display his butchery skills. There will also be many other chefs giving demonstrations, tips, answering questions and showing how easy cooking can be. They will be giving inspiration to get people cooking and using fresh Yorkshire Produce.

This will be exciting event with something for everyone.

Admission is once again free so please bring your family and friends.

The event has the support of “Welcome to Yorkshire”,” Deliciously Yorkshire” and “the Herriot Country Tourism Group” Please visit our website for further information www.yorkshirewelcome.co.uk or have a look at our Facebook page.

What to do in the School Holidays Once more it is that time of the year when the children are at home and before you know it they are saying that they are bored with nothing to do. However advanced planning by parents can go a long way into ensuring that school holiday time is beneficial for the youngsters. Numerous ideas come to mind, and the following may be of use:

Hobbies

A special interest is invaluable to a child for many reasons such as giving the child self-esteem and emotional stability. To give a list of prospective hobbies would fill this magazine. It may be that you the parent has a hobby and would like to pass it on or share with the children. They may or may not take to it, do not be disappointed if the response is not as positive as you would ideally wish for. In this case try guiding the children into the numerous options available and encouraging them to partake in one or more of them. Just be aware that you cannot force a child into enjoying a hobby.

Web sites for hobbies: • www.pocketparent.co.uk/hobbies-interests-activities.shtml • www.buzzle.com/articles/hobbies-for-kids.html

• Camp out in the garden Make it a family occasion, declare the house out of bounds, have a barbeque, observe the stars and planets see how many constellations and planets that you can identify. August is good for the Perseid Meteor Showers they peak on Monday 12th but you will be able to observe them on the days before and after.

• Have an internet lesson from your children A useful exercise for a rainy day let them teach you about Applications, Blogs, Facebook, Twitters, Tweets, Chat Rooms, Forums, Discussion Boards.

They will love showing you their expertise and it is the ideal way of catching up on what they do in their spare surfing time.

• Do you know the full capability of your mobile?

Once more let the youngsters teach you, it will be an amazing experience.

• Sleep Overs A good and positive way of nurturing independence and social connections from an early age.

• Plan a Walk Obtain an Ordnance Survey Map of the area and open in out. I can guarantee that there are areas that you have not visited. Encourage the children to plan a walk; they will need to work out the distance, time and what they need to take, perhaps even a picnic can be organised at the end of the walk. It is a super way of learning how to read a map and the country code.

Midsummer

Madness in the July Borders It is July 14th, five minutes to two o’clock, and the gates are about to open for my annual opening in aid of the National Garden Scheme.

Will my garden be given ten out of ten or just a ‘not bad’ I wonder? With any luck, if the weather has been kind, the plants will be bursting out of their allotted spaces and turning their winking faces to the sun. I have inspected my border umpteen times. I have tried my best, which is my motto at all times, and I have made my border – a mixture of shrubs and perennials – over a number of months, even years, by first of all sitting down with the Royal Horitcultural Society’s “Dictionary of Gardening” or some similar book and making a list of suitable plants for my border.

Four ingredients are necessary for a successful border. They are: firstly, good preparation of the soil by digging in plenty of well-rotted cow manure and applying fertiliser such as bone meal at the type of planting, good colour combinations, graded heights, the tallest plants at the back, medium height plants in the middle and low growing plants in front, and good maintenance of the border once it is planted.

Borders can be of different kinds: traditional herbaceous borders consisting mainly of perennials with fillers of annuals with half hardy annuals, mixed borders composed of shrubs, perennials and annuals, or shrubs on their own. My own borders have been a mixture of foliage plants and perennials, with a good selection of shrub roses, because my favourite flowers are amongst the shrub roses. It is purely a matter of taste. The time to plant your border is in the spring, when the plants are still dormant, unless, of course, you buy your plants in containers, in which you can plant them at any time except when the ground is too frosted or too hard.

The best method is to do a planting plan first, then lay out the plants in their allotted spaces on the ground. Group each kind – at least five of each plant – with the correct spaces in between each plant – usually about 12 inches or more. Make sure your plants have not dried out before planting and water them in well. Most people have no idea of the amount of water required by each plant. A hosepipe laid along the back of the border sprinkling water for several hours is advisable, unless of course, you have a hosepipe ban.

That most eminent of women gardeners, Miss Gertrude Jekyll, who wrote a book called “Colour in the Garden”, paid great attention to the arrangement of her plants, according to the colour theories of a Frenchman called Michel Chavreuil. Warm colours – reds, oranges and yellows on one side of the colour wheel were graded in the border, cool colours – purples, blues (dark and pale colours), finishing with white were farther along the border. Today we content ourselves with our own favourite colour combinations, but having said that, there are definitely some colours which do not go together.

Magenta for example definitely does not go salmon pink!

Of my favourite hibiscus plants I consider red hollyhocks good for the back of the border and Lobelia Fulgens or Cardinalis good for the next row of plants. In front orange Geums such as “Mrs Bradshaw” look well. Orange flowers to use include Kniphofia (red hot pokers) “Royal Standard”, then for yellow flowers I would choose Rudbeckia Goldsturm, known as “Black Eyed Susan”, Coreopsis Verticillata or Achillea “Moonshine”. Mix silver and bronze foliage with your flowers and you have the recipe for a stunning display. I use the tall ornamental artichoke (Scolymus cynara) for the back of the border or purple leafed fennel (Foeniculaceum Purpurascens), and for lower growing plants I choose Artemesia Arborescens “Lambrook Silver” or Bunny’s Ears “Stachys Lanata” with its felted ears. Somewhere in the centre of the border will be a variety of spurge – Euphorbia Characias – with flower bracts of glistening yellow. It may not still be blooming but it is nevertheless worth having for its foliage alone. At planting time there will inevitably be a few changes, but some flexibility is inevitable.

I invariably use massed sweet peas at the back of the border. Choose a scented variety (Lathyrus odorata), and train them over brushwood if you are able to get it, otherwise make a wigwam shape arrangement with vertical and horizontal canes. Shrubby lavenders such as the “Hidcote” variety have silver foliage as do the cotton lavenders (varieties Chamaecyparrisses and Incana).

There are other silver foliage plants amongst the artemesias and you need to look in the catalogues of your chosen nursery or garden centre for their particular varieties.

Avoid using hybrid tea roses in a border because of their stiff formal habit.

Instead use shrub roses such as the hybrid musks such as “Felicia” or “Cornelia”, such as the Rugosa hybrids or the white flowered “Blanc Double Coubert”. These roses will grow to five or more feet and are useful for the back of the border. Amongst the summer shrubs which do well for me are Genus Philadelphus amongst which the best known are the varieties “Belle Etolie” and “Manteau D’Ermine”. Dahlias, which are grown from tubers and which are natives of Mexico and are therefore not hardy, are a must for any summer border. They are late summer rather than early summer flowers, and their great beauty is in the number of different colours which are available from red, orange, pink and white. Because they are not hardy you will need to lift them after flowering and stall the tubers in a dry place.

Varieties include the cactus varieties with their ebullient flower shape and the more sedate “Coltness” hybrids. The red flowered “Bishop of Llandaff” connoisseur’s plant, is my favourite.

Finally give your border a good backdrop. Hedges of yew, beach or hornbeam, are the best, unless you are lucky enough to have a wall on your boundary.

Seen a

smoot lately?

Planning a Summer trip in the UK? NEAR THE MOTORWAYS provides an invaluable guide to the best UK refreshment stops within five minutes of the motorway.

What’s so new about a 10th edition? A lot!

More than a third of the entries have changed since the last edition. Of the original 236 entries in the 1st edition over 75% of them have been deleted or amended due to changes of ownership over the years, and more recently through outright closures.

Next time you pass a dry stone waller at work, take a closer look – is he working on a smoot? Or putting on the copes? Or hefting a through?

The art of dry stone walling has surrounded us for centuries, and not just us....the Incas were real masters of the craft laying stone so well that a knife blade couldn’t pass between the stones. The acropolis of Mycenae was built using the dry stone technique as early as 1350BC, and dry stone Mayans ruins in Belize date back to the 8th and 9th century AD. Today you can spot dry stone walls from Catalonia to Liguria, Croatia to Cyprus and from America to Australia.

One man keeping this ancient art alive in North Yorkshire is Hampsthwaitebased dry stone waller Bryn Gifford.

He has been researching and building dry stone walls for the past decade during which time his work has grown to include all sorts of walling and stone work.

“When I started it was mostly repairing farm boundary walls which may have existed for centuries” says Bryn. “But now there has been a real resurgence of interest in this ancient craft, and people are putting dry stone walls in as features in their urban gardens.

One week I can be laying a patio and building a dry stone wall around it and the following week I could be landscaping a town garden and putting in feature standing stones.

“I have built walls to retain stream banks and also stripped and sympathetically rebuilt a ha ha at a country home. It’s fascinating seeing what new ideas people have

24

Ripon & Masham infocus

and how I can bring the natural and traditional look of Yorkshire into interesting modern spaces.”

For Bryn the integrity of the countryside is hugely important.

“Every area, every country has a very different style of walling. It’s fascinating. I can travel just 50 miles and find the stone is different, the coping stones are laid differently, even the walling stones can have a specific pattern. Using indigenous stone and the local technique can give a wall that looks as though it has been in place for hundreds of years” In addition to the walling, 30 year old Bryn is also happy building mortar and cobble walls, laying flags, fencing, hedge planting and turfing . Having cut his teeth on limestone he is just as happy working with the local millstone grit. Currently he is also learning to carve stone.

“I’m not ready to carve a monument yet” he laughs “but I’ve started small with a stone carved for my sisters’ wedding and then we’ll see where I go after that...”

For a quote on your drystone or garden project, you can contact Bryn on 01423 771580 or 07969 723603.

(Oh and by the way, a dry stone walling smoot is a tiny gap about 20 cms high that lets wildlife pass through the wall!)

Hugh said “Every entry is within five minutes of a motorway junction, which just goes to show that you don’t have to travel far to find affordable alternatives to Service Stations.” .................................................................................................................................................................
