GARDEN DESIGN
1990s
Gardens as an extension to the home By the 90s , timeless style was returning to the garden . The Greenhouse was still a functional building , but many people wanted theirs to enhance the overall aesthetic of their garden space . The idea of the garden as an additional room was taking hold , and we began to think of gardens more as leisure spaces , with less formal planting and more places to entertain or relax in . At Hartley Botanic we looked to the classic Glasshouse designs of the Victorian period and reinvented them for the late 90s , complete with elegant finials , subtle colours , and handsome brick bases . Plantingwise , we were more adventurous than ever , with exotic herbs , aubergine , chilli , and sweet peppers joining the growing mix .

90s growing inspiration : try natural predators “ Biological Control is another technique increasing in use and scope . Predators and parasites can be brought into the Greenhouse and placed among the crop to control such difficult pests as whitefly ( Encarsia formosa ) and red spider mite ( Phytoseiulus persimilis ).”
