Andrew McCoryn
Head Gardener of Leeds Castle
This year I am expecting a renewed interest in English gardening. The seasons will be
celebrated more during 2017 especially autumn with late-flowering plants and leaves.
Colour combinations in flowers, particularly herbaceous perennials, will create more
comments and Conifers will finally gain more attention in the latter part of the year.
Apply some of these trends to your own garden by growing hardy plants such as tulips,
irises, clematis and roses, available from my recommended Kent nurseries such as Iris of
Sissinghurst, Palmstead Nurseries and The Potted Garden. 01622 765400 leeds-castle.com

2017 will see people prolonging
those hazy summer days and utilising
their garden as an additional room.
2016 trends of natural stone
paving and outdoor living products
will continue into 2017, both of
which Corker Outdoor Living
and Landscape Supplies offer in a
huge range of choice and variety.
Growth within the Porcelain stone
market is anticipated for 2017 along
with colour schemes that focus on a contemporary
look, including greys, whites, blacks and light browns.
Find out how you can transform your garden and
include these trends by heading to Corker, situated on
the A228 near Paddock Wood. Wander around their
inspirational show gardens, open 14th April, and shop
until your heart’s content, thanks to the wide range of
paving, turf, sleepers, outdoor furniture and more.
