The Beth Chatto Symposium took place 30-31st August; a gathering of gardeners, designers and plantspeople from all over the world

The impact of the summer heatwave on our plants and gardens; our head gardener Åsa Gregers-Warg explains what we're doing to mitigate the effects here in the driest part of the UK, and the Gravel Garden plants (never irrigated) which are still doing well.

It is with great sadness we announce the death of Beth Chatto OBE VMH, the acclaimed gardener, writer and plantswoman. 

By many regarded as somewhat of a transition between the Water Garden and the Woodland Garden, the area was predominantly planted with low maintenance trees and shrubs, interspersed with a few herbaceous perennials and grasses.
