Planting

This autumn the north end of the south lawn has been greatly improved The lawn has been reseeded and in one patch we experimenting with “Nordic Lawn”, a matting which allows the grass to grow through it and protects the grass against damage when conditions are not optimal. This area now has timed irrigation.

The bed to the east side of this area has been replanted with new hedging plants and smaller plants in front. This area also has timed irrigation.

On the North lawn, the rose bed in the centre has been slightly increased in area, edged with metal EverEdge. This gives the border of the bed a sharp finish and an edge that the lawn mowers can cut to. The new hedge of Teucrium x Lucidrys has been planted. This is an alternative to Box and doesn’t suffer from box blight.

Montagu Square

Montagu Square is in Marylebone, London. It is situated a little north of Marble Arch, between Edgware Road and Marylebone High Street. 

It was built as part of the Portman Estate between 1810 and 1815, along with Bryanston Square, a little to the west, and first leased to the builder David Porter. He named the square after his former benefactor, Mrs Elizabeth Montagu, when he was a chimney sweep.
