Foliage rather than flowers
G RE EN is th e must-have colour for 2004, according to designers a t this year’s major
horticultural shows. Designers are placing emphasis
on foliage rather than flowers, with hundreds of different shades of green. TV designer Diarmuid Gavin has designed a show garden for Chelsea inspired by the Emerald Isle where he grew up, with pre dominantly green planting. But how can we make the most of
green in the garden, without mak ing the scene look too dull? The secret is in using different

greens, from dark bottle green to apple hues, warm spring green and lime green. Dark greens give gar dens a greater depth, while pale ones will make them seem shallow
er. Garden designer Jill Billington,
author of “Colour Your Garden” (Quadrille, £14.99), explains: “For a moody atmosphere, dark depths create the perfect background and light greens are appropriate for joy
ful intimacy. “The warmer tones of green -
those with some yellow in the base colour - are friendly and ideal for family gardens. But for a more sophisticated atmosphere the cooler greens, the almost turquoise or verdigris hues, are better suited.”
A combination of shades works
well, with fresh bright greens being set off against a backdrop of dark
evergreens. Backdrops of grasses and ferns
can provide impressive green colour schemes. This year’s hot plants include stipa, miscanthus, festuca,
carex and dicksonia. In the past, green has been the
most undervalued garden colour, yet if two plants do not connect, a patch of foliage between them pro vides the missing link. Grey and silver foliage plants
work well to link diverse pastels, while small hummocks of blue-grey grass can be planted next to black ribbon grass Ophiopogon planisca- pus “Nigrescens” for real impact. Other good linking plants include
the apple green Alchemilla mollis. If you have a dull, shady corner, planting possibilities extend to a rich diversity of textures and cool shades of green, including finely quilted hostas, Fatsia japonica and unfurling ferns such as Matteuccia struthiopteris, the shuttlecock fern, whose leaves can grow to 1.8m
(6ft). Deciduous and evergreen plants
can be used to complement each other, such as the glossy evergreen of the holly mixed in a hedge of deciduous beech with its brown crinkly leaves in autumn.
Green can also abound in sum-
mer. Try planting some feathery
emerald green fennel in your border, or clumps of angelica with Hemero- callis “Green Flutter”, which pro duces pale acid-yellow flowers. B Three ways to fill up space
under a large tree: • 1 Plant large shrubs such as spot
ted laurel (Aucuba japonica ‘Cro- tonifolia’), which bear red fruit, and Camellia japonica, which flowers in spring and early summer. These will survive in heavy shade where tree roots are close to the surface, but you need to prepare the plant ing hole by making it larger than the plant’s rootball and add some organic matter. 2 Plant carpeting plants, such as
periwinkle (Vinca) which will give you blue flowers in late spring and summer, finding space between the tree roots and spreading quickly. 3 Build a circular bench to go
around the tree, where people can sit and enjoy the shade on warm summer days. B There are some wonderful late-
flowering tulips around, such as the deep plum, almost black “Queen of Night” which provides a superb contrast with bright yellow and orange wallflowers at this time of year.

KIM’S TOP TIP: Use a toothbrush. “Perfect for cleaning around taps and
getting into awkward crevices.” S RITA KONIG, author of the witty but
practical “Domestic Bliss”, says: “I usually save the housework for Saturday mornings. Don’t get dressed - do the housework in your underwear, it’s much easier and boys love it; especially if you’re in your best high
heels. “This works from a practical point of
view as flinging yourself around the place with dusters is a hot business. I also find that some good music playing - as loudly as possible - really helps with getting the work done because if you can successfully side track your mind into singing and dancing you will hardly notice the chores.” RITA’S TIPS Keep a utility cupboard well organised
and stocked with cleaning products and tools. Open windows before you start, to air
the rooms. Always use a damp cloth to dust and
don’t forget tops of pictures, lampshades and bulbs, window sills and skirting boards. B JOCASTA INNES, author of “Home
Time” says: “Throwing your energies into a deep clean once a year - twice if you have really high standards - is really, really good for you. I t ’s therapeutic for both mind and body. A thorough deep clean makes you feel happy, positive and at peace with yourself." JOCASTA’S TIPS Plan ahead. Send covers and carpets
away to be cleaned in advance so by the time you have completed the spring clean they are back ready to be refitted. Book professionals to clear up outstand
ing repairs to furniture or appliances. The rule in cleaning is “Start at the top
and work down”. Move furniture into the middle of the room. Take down pictures, clear shelves and put books into boxes. Use dust sheets to protect furniture. HER HINT: A painter’s brush is ideal
for dusting mouldings, picture frames, and cornices.

new kitchen or bathroom will add consider ably to the value of your home and you will also get a lot of pleasure from it!" O Loft conversions. "These offer fantas
tic value for money, but don't be tempted to squeeze two rooms into a loft space. Instead convert the loft into a master bed room with en-suite bathroom,' a guest bed room, a teenage bedroom or a family games room. What's important is that you keep it as a large room, giving your home instant
'wow' factor." 9 Exteriors. "Many people spend thou
sands improving the inside of their proper ty without giving any thought to the exte rior - big mistake! Spending money on replacing windows and doors with sash uPVC or timber windows together with fix ing any loose guttering, down pipes and garden gates can have a big impact." 9 Decorating. "Neutrals always work
best - they make rooms appear bigger and brighter. However, we are in danger of going overboard with the minimalist look. Put neutral colours on walls, floor and fittings, but introduce colour through paintings, family photographs and soft furnishings. 9 Gardens. "If you have an unsightly
garden you need to tidy it up.” 9 Study. “Turning an understairs cup
board or a section of a conservatory into a study can be a great asset. But make sure it is away from the main living and sleeping
areas." ) l Cl IU3L, — j

Bedrooms child’s play
SOME parents are allowing their young sters to wander alone in the jungle, sail across oceans, or even explore space. But they are not reckless or irresponsible -
rather they are indulgent. For these “adventures” all take place in
the safety of their children’s bedrooms where it is now a cult - especially among the rich and famous - to create fantasy settings for their little stars. Hand-painted murals and special effects
replicating everything from scaled-down castles or even sailing ships, create rooms that are literally out of this world. Adam Dale, design director at Dragons of
Walton Street, is well used to being asked to create magical rooms. The London compa ny was responsible for Princes William and Harry’s nursery, and for the bedrooms and playrooms of the children of Madonna, Elle MacPherson, and Frankie Dettori. He says: “We’ve conjured everything from
a moonscape with a space rocket bed, to a Formula One racetrack tha t circled the room and a racing car bed.” Unsurprisingly, football is a favourite
theme choice for boys. Some enjoy playing in their own mini football stadium, complete with goals and a green carpet marked out as a football pitch. Little girls love the illustrations from the
Flower Fairies books, while the most fash ionable babies have Beatrix Potter charac ters or classics, such as the Teddy Bears Pic nic, painted on their walls and furniture.

Turner had been in a relationship with a woman called Charlotte Barry. On the night of the incident he was at a
friend’s house and they had been talking and drinking lager.
Miss Barry came to the house about 11
p.m., left after a short while, but then came back about half-an-hour later. “Mr Turner was half asleep on the settee
when he saw her enter, followed by her ex- husband and the defendant,” said Mrs
Close. “Gratorex pulled him off the settee and
dragged him outside. Mr Turner was con fused and disorientated, but did not fight back. He was taken into the street where he was punched about the face and the head.” Mrs Close said Mr Turner did not want
any trouble and got on his bike to cycle home. “He was told to leave the bike because Charlotte had bought it for him and when he tried to leave on foot he was again punched.” She said Mr Turner had suffered a split
lip, black eye and a bloody nose. He had two loose teeth and had to pay £85 for den
tal work. The magistrates passed sentence after
reading pre-sentence reports. First days at school
