Ten Flowers & Shrubs That Will Thrive In Our Soil
GreenArt’s base in South Oxfordshire is an interesting and quite varied place to create and establish Gardens.
The starting point for all gardens is the soil. Along the Thames, the soils are silty, deep and fertile. On the slopes of the Chilterns and the downs, the soils are thinner with clay, flint and chalk and, as a result, are often high in pH. Contrary to popular belief that many garden plants demand lime-free soil, more species actually thrive on alkaline conditions rather than dislike them.
