Gardener's Diary: what to grow in June, indoors and out

Garden ideas from the best landscape designers on our Directory

 

Designing a garden: Find Your ‘Vantage Points’

Designing (or refining) a garden doesn’t begin by just walking around outdoors, but by going inside and looking out from various places in your home, registering potential views from key spots. 

“Determine where the best views are and where you want the garden or the scene to present best from,” Mr. Noble said. “Is it a window? The deck? A porch? First, find your vantage points.”

In SPIRIT OF PLACE, @billnoblevt—a lifelong gardener, and the former director of preservation for the Garden Conservancy—helps gardeners answer these questions by sharing how they influenced the creation of his garden in Vermont. Throughout, Noble reveals that a garden is never created in a vacuum but is rather the outcome of an individual’s personal vision combined with historical and cultural forces. Sumptuously illustrated, this thoughtful look at the process of garden-making shares insights gleaned over a long career that will inspire you to create a garden rich in context, personal vision, and spirit. SPIRIT OF PLACE is available everywhere books are sold.

​The gardener at La Malbaie, Charlevoix

Nestled in the Charlevoix region of Quebec is gardener Frank Cabot's fabled Les Quatre Vents (The Four Winds), one of the world's most beautiful private gardens. Filmed by Sébastien Chabot’s first reaction upon visiting Les quatre vents, before Cabot's death at the age of 86, Cabot reflects on the meaning of gardening and its impact on our lives.

And all gardens, however large or small, need one private place.

​Viewing houses for sale in Montreal suburbs, buyers often found backyards nothing more than a grass lawn. Often it takes a plan, whether to frame a view or block one, sometimes all it takes is a few well-placed plants — and some guiding principles. In Bill Noble's book “Spirit of Place: The Making of a New England Garden”: “Much of what gardening is about is the feeling of being connected to a place, fostering a sense of belonging, and becoming familiar with the natural rhythms and cycles of a particular piece of the earth.”
