Winter gardening tipsIf you love your garden and want to get the most out of it then there are a few things to think about over the winter.
“There are several ways to improve the quality of your garden over the long winter months ahead” says Julia Watkins, of Lupin Garden Design. “The most obvious is to have a general tidy-up – clear away all the leaves from beds and borders, give your grass a final cut, and attend to your lawn and path edges, making them crisp and neat. If you can, add evergreen
interest – not just green leaved, but yellow, silver, red, lime and grey. Topiary box – conical, ball and bee-hive shapes - provides structure and architectural form as well. Planting bulbs and early flowering perennials, such as primroses and lungwort, shortens this quiet season, and offers a rich source of nectar for emerging insects.”And Julia should know. For ten years, she and her business partner, Susan Brown,
have run Lupin Garden Design – planning, designing, landscaping and maintaining over 150 Birmingham gardens. This horticulturally trained pair have overseen the development and maintenance of many outdoor spaces – from the smallest urban courtyard, to large established private grounds.
Busier than ever, Susan feels the key to their success is two-fold. “Firstly, we offer a wide range of services – anything from a one-off tidy up or regular maintenance, to large design and planting work. We can come in and tidy or plant the smallest border, or we can redesign a whole garden.
The second reason for Lupin’s continued growth appears to be their business model. “We didn’t intend this to happen” says Susan, “but as we expanded, we took on more women. It seems that we filled a gap – not just for our workers, who we train to the highest standard, but for our clients as well. People trust us to let ourselves in, to keep hold of keys, to be responsible, hard-working and professional on site, and to leave the gardens looking immaculate.”

New heart for Kings HeathKings Heath has a new heart after a £660,000 project to create a village square.
Accompanied by musicians, drummers and choirs, the new square in Kings Heath was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Coun Anita Ward, and the Bishop of Birmingham, the Rt Rev David Urquhart, on Saturday October 15.
The Village Square brings together three separate areas of ground into one beautiful oasis, a place for meeting and relaxing and where a regular programme of events and activities will take place. A cafe will open soon in the adjacent Welcome space. So come and join in -5th November - Farmers Market 19th November - Christmas lights switch on.
Major features in the square include:• A ‘bubble pavement’ water feature
which symbolises refreshment, new life and Christian Baptism
• A paved labyrinth, designed by Simon Watkins of RGA, the artwork inserts for which were designed by artist Alison Ogle in consultation with local young people and community groups and which includes mosaic inserts and quotations on the theme of ‘Cherish your Life and Community’
• A paved Threshold/Swirl feature, which will spiral outward from a restored Edwardian lamppost at the outer corner of the square toward the centre of the labyrinth and in which is cut a poem by local poet Rosie Miles who was a finalist for this year’s Birmingham Poet laureate.
• A re-sited and renovated War memorial with seating
• 28 new trees and a new Landscaping and planting plan: members of the community have taken part in planting some of the shrubs, trees and bulbs.
During the opening ceremony, which was attended by MPs, Councillors and representatives from other local associations, the Bishop switched on the water feature and blessed the venue. Music and song were performed by the Kings Heath Brass Quintet; the Eritrean church and the Sing Live! choir.
Landscape architect and labyrinth designer Simon Watkins of RGA, and site construction supervisor Peter Smith of Trendgrey completed the labyrinth by the ceremonial laying of the final piece, a centre steel inlay circle.
The project has been masterminded by the All Saints Community Development Company, in collaboration with All Saints Parochial Church Council. The group secured a £430,000 grant for the square from the Big Lottery’s Community Spaces Fund, managed by Groundwork UK, £210,000 from Birmingham City Council and £20,000 from Kings Heath Centre Partnership
Vivien Thickett of the All Saints Community Development Company said: “It’s been hard work putting together such a complicated project but the results make it all worth while. We now have a beautiful square for all members of the community to enjoy.”

Moseley in Bloom wins Gold againMoseley was given a gold award for the fourth time at The Heart of England in Bloom Awards Ceremony on 15 September and was also named Best in the Urban Communities category, thanks to the tireless hard work of an army of local volunteers.
Moseley was also presented with a silver award at the national finals held in September and Jan Millar was given an RHS Britain in Bloom Community Champion Award.
Throughout the summer Moseley Village has put on stunning floral displays to be enjoyed by all. But there is much more to Moseley in Bloom than first meets the eye.
Moseley in Bloom began in 2004 with a small group of people aiming to make Moseley cleaner and greener. Since then it has grown and developed and so far, Moseley in Bloom has won four Gold Awards in the RHS Heart of England in Bloom campaign and two Silver Gilts in the National Britain in Bloom awards.
Moseley in Bloom was also awarded a Certificate of Merit in 2009 for the makeover at the old Meteor car showrooms. Moseley residents picked runner beans from the crops growing on the security fencing round this site, a few yards from the high street. That project is now over as the developers will soon move in. One of the highlights of the year, now
well established in Moseley’s social calendar, was the Open Gardens Weekend in June.
Fifteen private gardens opened as well as Moseley’s historic Dovecote, the gardens at Headway in Moseley Hall Hospital and the garden at the Grange, sheltered housing. Billesley Lane and Moor Green allotments at Cannon Hill Park were also open. There were plant sales, teas and musicians.
Residents and visitors to Moseley have said they believe Moseley in Bloom makes Moseley a more pleasant place to live.
