Working has been taking place at the RHS Garden at Hyde Hall to transfer the flat landscape into one that matches the surrounding landscape by introducing mounds. The work has taken over four weeks and has involved moving 17,000 tonnes of soil. RHS garden manager Andrew Lodge told Ken Crowther about some of the plants being put into the new winter garden section.

Many people think that the garden goes to sleep in winter, but there are still lots of jobs to do as it is a good time to get ready for the year ahead. Garden manager at the RHS garden Hyde Hall talked to Ken Crowther about some of the jobs that can be done now.

January is a busy time of the year for mail order company Thompson and Morgan as it is when they start shipping their bare root fruit trees. The year-old trees come in 9cm pots, on dwarf root stocks meaning they can be kept in pots on a patio and will only reach 6ft and will pollinate amongst themselves as buyer, Peter Freeman told Ken Crowther.

Petunia’s can’t be beaten for their versatility or flower power. It is for this reason Thompson & Morgan have picked them as their top genus for 2016. There have been some vast improvements made by the plant breeder including their weather resilience as managing director Paul Hansord explained to Ken Crowther.
