August 12th, 2010
Are you a windswept gardener who suffers from prevailing and random wind (in the garden I mean). Well here are some tips and plant selections to help make the most of your conditions. Your other suggestions would be welcome. Initial Thoughts of the Windswept (move home)
- Screen a windy site with Trees and Shrubs then fill in with sturdy perennials.
- Think of wind breaks when locating garden furniture or planning a new hedge.
- Seaside gardens hint at some of the great garden features that you can incorporate into your windy garden.
- Drought or water shortage often goes with a windswept garden so select plants that are also drought tolerant.
- After planting give new additions some protection until they are established and water regularly until the roots grow.
