Join Dave Wright this week as he catches up with Gav from Lee Rowan’s Garden Centre to talk about one of the most elegant solutions for garden privacy: the Camellia.
If you are looking for a way to block out the neighbours or hide an ugly fence without sacrificing beauty, this is the episode for you. They discuss why Camellias are the "quiet aristocrats" of the garden, offering lush, evergreen foliage that creates the perfect natural screen.
Why choose Camellias: How their dense, glossy leaves provide year-round structure and privacy.
The bloom factor: How to select the right varieties—like Sasanqua or Japonica—to ensure your screen is covered in spectacular flowers when the rest of your garden is dormant.
Practical tips: Gav shares his expert advice on spacing, soil preparation, and feeding to get your screen growing strong.
Maintenance made easy: Debunking the myth that these beautiful plants are hard to look after.
Whether you have a sun-drenched spot or a shaded courtyard, there is a variety to suit your space. Tune in to learn how to turn your boundary into a flowering, fragrant masterpiece!
