My guest is Clare Foster, the Garden Editor at House and Garden magazine in the UK. Clare is the author of numerous books, including the gorgeous Winter Gardens with photographer Andrew Montgomery. Clare’s writing is such a pleasure to read and she has brought me closer to some of my favorite plants and gardens. Join us to hear about Clare’s career as a garden writer and her development as a gardener, as well as some of the principles at play in her own garden, which is an inspiring example of low(ish) input, high reward design from a gardener who has access to some of the most beautiful spaces and guides in the world. ** The first printing of Winter Gardens sold out quickly and a reprint has been ordered, which Clare and Andrew hope to make available by late summer. You can find links in the show notes to follow them for ordering information.** Garden People podcast, from https://www.instagram.com/violetear_studio/ (@violetear_studio) L I S T E N https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-people/id1595934172 (iTunes) https://open.spotify.com/show/7qlYq5yVrLEgfCuZOtrPcn (Spotify) https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/garden-people (Stitcher) S H O W N O T E S https://thamesandhudson.com/ (Thames and Hudson) https://www.gardensillustrated.com/ (Gardens Illustrated) https://www.instagram.com/rosie_returns/ (Rosie Atkins), https://amzn.to/3ww0Knj (book) edited by Rosie on gardener profiles https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/ (House and Garden) https://montgomerypress.co.uk/products/winter-gardens (Winter Gardens) published with photographer https://www.instagram.com/montgomeryphoto/ (Andrew Montgomery) Clare’s https://zencastr.com/violetearstudio/garden-people-marryn-mathis (Compost book) https://www.bethchatto.co.uk/ (Beth Chatto) Clare’s book https://amzn.to/36JM5dl (The Flower Garden: How to Grow Flowers from Seed), in collaboration with photographer Sabina Rüber http://dillongarden.com/ (Helen Dillon) Andrew Montgomery’s https://amzn.to/3IBWjdb (Petersham book) https://www.instagram.com/pietoudolf/?hl=en (Piet Ouldof ) Ouldof’s https://amzn.to/3Iz8qYo (Designing with Plants) book https://www.instagram.com/coyotewillow/?hl=en (Dan Pearson) https://www.instagram.com/minh_ngoc/?hl=en (Ngoc Minh Ngo) https://www.instagram.com/arnemaynardgardendesign/?hl=en (Arne Maynard) P L A N T L I S T https://www.johnnyseeds.com/flowers/tulips/ (Tulips) https://www.vermontwildflowerfarm.com/forget-me-not.html?Size=Packetandcmp=googleproductsandgclid=CjwKCAjwiuuRBhBvEiwAFXKaNL0eFI3PvGLgEk3fJ43s6VRd_5-nW17LUPZXtv7mjt2SnA7_WvPVQRoCQh0QAvD_BwEandkw=forget-me-not (Myosotis perennial Forget-me-not) https://www.specialplants.net/shop/seeds/lunaria_annua_corfu_blue/ (Lunaria annua - honesty ‘corfu blue’) https://www.johnnyseeds.com/flowers/ammi-false-queen-annes-lace/?gclid=CjwKCAjwiuuRBhBvEiwAFXKaNPpr3D1Jj9uIlfI_mExQLT6Lsktu0kwr6SCHIvoNk5zv2kNmILtAxRoC-wwQAvD_BwEandsource=google_johnny_seeds (Ammi majus) - ‘False Queen Anne’s Lace’ https://www.johnnyseeds.com/search/?lang=en_USandq=cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) https://www.redemptionseeds.com/flower-seeds/cynoglossum-chinese-forget-me-not.html (Cynoglossum) Chinese forget-me-not mystery lavender https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_61f_agastache_aurantiaca_navajo_sunset_seeds (Agastache aurantiaca, ‘Navajo Sunset’) https://www.gardenia.net/plant/stipa-gigantea-golden-oats (Stipa gigantea) https://www.gardenia.net/plant/calamagrostis-x-acutiflora-karl-foerster (Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' ) http://www.newmoonnursery.com/plant/Aster-umbellatus (Aster umbulatas) - flat topped aster https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?isprofile=0andn=1andtaxonid=291805 (Symphyotrichum turbinellum) (smooth violet prairie aster) Dusty pink Campanula lactiflora from Clare’s garden -...
