Our autumn colour has been very good at Ballyrobert Gardens and as you can see at 5-30pm this evening this border became even more colourful.

It is really good to see businesses doing their bit for the environment. This photograph was taken only a few days ago and before the storms. A beautiful display and well looked after. The food is also excellent with the pear and almond scone plus maple syrup being very tasty.
Guess where? Halloween rings a bell! About 60 miles from Ballyrobert Gardens.

Ballyrobert Gardens does not provide good growing conditions for Kniphofia rooperi but this year is looking very good. This clump has been at this location for 10 plus years and we manage to keep ot protected by surrounding it with plants and always leaving its foliage uncut. Such a wonderful plant to have for the next few weeks. Definitely a must have.

Ornamental grasses can be very dramatic in mixed borders at this time of year. These pics taken yesterday at Ballyrobert Gardens. If you have the space for a special grass consider the plant shown in the first pic which is the amazing Miscanthus 'Silberfeder' . Its beauty increases during the next 6 weeks.
I was on Radio Ulster's Gardeners Corner several days ago extolling the beauty of ornamental grasses in the garden and this programme can still be heard on 'iplayer .

When we think of our own common rowan tree it is difficult to believe they also have rowans in Taiwan. This photograph is one such tree from that country and it is very special. I feel this is best rowan of the many different genera and species. Sorbus randaiensis is a rare tree and I have never seen it for sale. This is one of our four trees. They fruit like this every year and their foliage turns bright scarlet without fail.
This particular tree is growing in our orchard and is a wonderful contrast with the various apple varieties in particular.
BALLYROBERT GARDENS WILL BE OPEN UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

At Ballyrobert Gardens we have a number of natural sculptures. From a stump of a dead golden ash ( right hand side of pic) we created our 'Quiet Man' mainly to reflect the passing of three beautiful Fraxinus Jaspidea which were growing in this border.

Our recent propagation workshop underway at Ballyrobert Gardens. After the demonstration of the various forms of plant propagation, we visited the garden. With plastic bags in hand we gathered up propagation material and then it was 'all hands to the mill'. Hopefully everyone had a good time and that the various propagules are beginning to take root.
Nothing like learning by doing.

Our Cyclamen hederifolium never let us down. They are fabulous throughout the garden whether that is at the entrance, in borders and woodlands. All perfect for viewing during the next month, every day except Sundays.

Our borders still putting on a good show despite the dorught and heat. Note these borders are of the sustainable type ie. no temporary planting, all plants permanent, provides for AYR interest, no regular lifting and dividing, no fungicide or insecticide, no watering and no fertiliser.
How is this done! May have a workshop at Ballyrobert Gardens next 2027.

Persicaria Fat Domino is excellent this year throughout Ballyrobert Gardens. This variety combines well with many plants but it does seem at home with grasses.
