  • Estate boundary hedges.

    Rosemoor Garden on 26 Aug 2009 at 04:03 PM

    Here at Rosemoor we always try to garden with Wildlife in mind. To this end, the garden staff have gradually been extending the areas of grass given over to wild flower meadow.

  • Summer maintenance in the Long Borders

    Rosemoor Garden on 03 Aug 2009 at 04:11 PM

    The Long Borders at Rosemoor have been looking very colourful over the past couple of months, with good displays from the shrub roses, lupins, delphiniums, day lilies and Siberian irises, to name but a few plants.  In order to maintain the momentum of interest in the borders so that they continue to look attractive until late summer/early autumn, we have recently been spending some time carrying out various maintenance tasks in the borders.
