Clotted Cream Jasmine brings back memories of scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream teas in Cornwall

Hello there!

Being a big fan of scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream teas on holidays in Cornwall as a child  I couldn't resist this lovely climber.

I planted it last year and its doing really well. It has rich cream coloured flowers which are really special and a heavenly scent.  It flowers all summer, likes full sun and a sheltered site though its reasonably hardy. It can grow up to 16 feet tall and is a really posh looking plant!

In my garden its climbing up an iron arch I found in a skip and the idea is that it heads up the arch and into the almond tree above in a few years.

You can buy it from the Sarah Raven website.

Its also known as Devon Cream Jasmine in case you are having difficulty finding it.

Do look out for it.

Newly retired - be inspired! Have your own English Cottage Garden Lessons.

Hi there.

I've recently started giving gardening lessons. I'm really enjoying them and have lots of positive feedback from clients. You'll find these on my website carolinescottagegardens  on the testimonials page>

They would suit anyone who wants to enjoy their garden more but particularly the newly retired who suddenly find they have more time and miss the stimulation of work. .

Gardening gives a reason to learn new things for the rest of your life.

If you or someone you know would like to learn about having their own English Cottage Garden please do get in touch.

I can teach people anywhere in the world who has a telephone and email access. Time Zones permitting of course. Written notes are provided for all lessons and what is learned is embedded with practical exercises.

I was worried about being a professional gardener at first because I had back problems and bursitis in my knees and hips. But I needn't have - the gardening has solved these problems rather than exacerbating them to my amazement.

Take Care
Caroline
