• WIDE APPEAL
  My first visit to Benton End was in September. That year, the summer had been relentlessly dry, yet out of the parched dusty ground peeked large clumps of Colchicum speciosum, both white and tessellated purples. This little chink of light from the past was all I needed to become captivated by the project of reviving plantsman Cedric Morris’s garden in Suffolk. The colchicums’ rich colour and generous goblet-shaped flowers form the focal point of this arrangement.
• BOXING CLEVER
  I found this metal box – once the frame of a car trailer – in the overgrowth within a walled garden I once renovated. I detached the wheel axle and have since used it as a raised bed-style planter. For this arrangement, without excesses of soil to fill the large volume and no intact walls remaining, I’ve set in typical medium-sized terracotta pots with a nest of branches and prunings from the garden. The result is a kind of hybrid planter-habitat pile.
• BRING ME SUNSHINE
  Sternbergia lutea is one of the most delightful surviving bulbs within the walled garden at Benton End. Hundreds still thrive since Cedric Morris planted them in the mid-20th century. Their long-lived success is a great example of growing the flora that best suits the existing conditions of your garden, which for us is a pairing of dry summers and a sandy loam soil. Prior to Benton End, I’d only seen them flowering beneath olive orchards in Tuscany.
