RHS "The Garden"

The most recent copy has just arrived, lots to read, 
here are just a couple of items I thought to mention.

Award of Garden Merit (AGM)

I don't know about you, but I do find it useful to look out for the RHS Award of Garden Merit symbol when selecting plants and seeds. When the scheme started in 1992, it was agreed to carry out a review after 10 years, that has just happened and a revised list of AGM plants will be published at the RHS Plant and Design Show, 19-20 February and soon after on the RHS website - here

How hardy is that plant?

The RHS has revised and improved its system of rating plant hardiness. As it will be appearing on labels we'll have to get used to it!

Gardeners' Calendar

Always handy to see what needs doing and what may have been forgotten.
