Pruning, propagating and on-trend inspiration MAKING THE CUT
What happens when you pick up a pair of pruners? Do you slash and burn, or stand back in confusion? This new illustrated pruning series aims to empower gardeners to prune their plants the right way, at the right time. This month, the focus is on wisteria, grape and roses, with general tips for pruning and advice on choosing a pair of secateurs to fit the purpose.
ALL THE TRIMMINGS
Don't waste those prunings - trim them up and turn them into more plants. It's easy with advice from Tino Carnevale and a step-by-step guide to taking hardwood cuttings from plants such as hydrangea, rose and mulberry.
GRAND DESIGNS
Purple and silver foliage, and green paired with white were popular palette choices this year at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. We explore some of the show gardens to discover what stood out as recurring themes, plant combinations and design elements.
BACKYARD JUICE BAR
Sophie Thomson starts each day with a juice made from freshly picked vegies grown organically in her garden. She describes what she likes to grow, and how she keeps the stocks up.
TAKE ME WITH YOU
At the RSPCA in Yagoona, New South Wales, a garden makeover using clever design tricks, pet-friendly plants and splashes of cheery colour has created a tranquil environment for homeless pets and potential owners to meet and find their perfect match.
