People to Meet • Introducing the gardeners and public figures we most admire in British horticulture

Out & About • Unmissable events, news and the very best gardens to visit this month

Bunny’s Diary • Bunny starts the year with some early sowings, recommends quince and a new sauna blanket

Beautiful & Useful • New plants, books, tools and creative designs, plus shopping inspiration

Embrace the Blues • In the aftermath of Christmas, the chilly and uneventful days of January can feel rather bleak. So take them as an opportunity for peaceful rest and reflection. Snuggle up with a hot drink and contemplate the year ahead from beneath a cosy hand-woven throw.Oxford stripe navy blanket, £55. Tel: 01548 431 902; weavergreen.com

SPECIAL PLACE • When Kate Smith took on the 12 acres of The Old Vicarage in Surrey 16 years ago, she combined her design training and a love of plants to create a personal and meaningful garden

NATURAL LIVING • James Scott took the brief for his own garden from his wife and two daughters. The result is a clever but simple space made for gathering, living and enjoying

THE PLANT LAB • Working scientifically to adapt new planting to the very precise conditions of his own garden at Mansard House in Suffolk, designer Tom Hoblyn has painstakingly built up an in-depth knowledge of what works where, which he applies to his clients’ briefs

GOING THE Extra Mile • Rhiannedd Brooke uses her own elegant garden in Kent to test new ideas, repurposing areas and experimenting with levels and planting, enabling her to go beyond her clients’ design briefs and give them that little bit more

The Subtle APPROACH • Designers Tommaso del Buono and Paul Gazerwitz haven’t tried to reinvent the wheel with their charmingly elegant garden in Suffolk, which sympathetically complements 16th-century Waterloo House to create a sense of timeless appeal

A Matter of Perspective • Look beyond the practical challenges, says Carol Smith, and you’ll see that gardening on a gradient is a fantastic opportunity to add drama, intrigue and flair

The Hit Parade • From his years of experience as a garden designer, horticultural broadcaster and writer, Matthew Wilson presents his ultimate list of plants for any situation

Bark & Beyond • There’s more to the Betula genus than the white-trunked silver birch we all know and love, and much more to commend these graceful trees than their wintry bark display

Plants for JANUARY • In the third part of a series examining the most covetable plants of the season, Philip Clayton focuses on choice examples of clematis and hellebore

Let There Be White • At Old Court Nurseries in Worcestershire, Ross Barbour and Helen Picton have expanded the adjoining Picton Garden into a showcase for their nursery’s wide range of winter offerings, including a collection of some 300 special snowdrops

30 FANTASTIC GARDENS TO SEE • Picture this: thirty of the world’s most visually stunning gardens, as selected by ten of the very best garden photographers

Wonders of the West • Enjoy a four-day break taking in the idyllic gardens of Somerset and Dorset, arranged for readers of The English Garden by travel specialists, Sisley Garden Tours
