MY GARDEN AT PERCH HILL

perch hill

MY GARDEN AT

2024 marks 30 years since we first moved to Perch Hill Farm, and what a wonderful journey it’s been! From starting my very own cutting and kitchen gardens to creating the Dutch Yard and filling it to the brim with pots—not forgetting the Oast and Farmhouse garden packed with perennials, shrubs and trees. I can't help but feel (as we all do about our gardens) that they really are all unique.

My brand-new book, A Year Full of Pots, is also out in March, and is a celebration of everything I’ve learned over the past three decades. I’ve taken so much joy in recording my favourite varieties and combinations in my garden, for you to try in yours.

In these pages, you will find the very best of the best. Everything is picked by me, and then trialled, tested and photographed here at home.

2024 is set to be a fantastic year filled with variety, texture and above all else, colour.

I can't wait!

Here’s to 30 years of Perch Hill,

PASTEL DAHLIAS

dahlias

new

As we move into 2024, I am clearer than ever about my two favourite plant groups that need to go into the garden this time of year. The first is dahlias and the second is cosmos, see page 22.

I love dahlias for a number of reasons. They’re easy to grow and depending on variety, are ideal for pots, borders and vases. They are good for biodiversity—singles, collerettes and anemone-flowered varieties are loved by butterflies and bees, and they also flower for such a long spell, from July through to late-October.

When I first started gardening 30 years ago, I grew Cosmos ‘Purity’.

Sarah Raven started as a seed business, with me packing seeds at my kitchen table and hand painting the covers of our seed catalogue. It is still one of the greatest pleasures of my life, sowing and growing things from seed.

There are few things more satisfying from turning what looks like dust or lumps of grit into great lines and hedges of flowers in a few short months. My advice is go for it—I’m pretty certain that you’ll love it too.

KITCHEN GARDEN SALAD AND GRAFTED VEG

salad

Grow brilliant salads all year round. If you have any outside space, you’ll never need to buy a bag of salad from the supermarket again.

Grafted veg has changed the game when it comes to cultivating the healthiest of homegrown crops. This technique takes high quality fruit and vegetable varieties and grafts them onto more vigorous rootstock. The result? Strong, delicious, and nutritionally rich produce that has great resistance to pests and temperature changes.

Like Butterflies for Butterflies Dahlia Collection

We have long loved ‘Blue Bayou’ and have been working with breeders and our Dutch suppliers to find more dahlia varieties with the same look. That’s the tale of these five, looking as showy as doubles, yet every flower centre filled with nectar tubes. These are flowers within flowers and are twice as beautiful with them.
