## Resource

Alan Titchmarsh’s July garden guide is packed with color and smart planting tips—think foxgloves for shade or sun, verbena bonariensis for buzzing pollinators, and lavender that thrives on drainage and full sun. He champions growing annuals from seed for budget-friendly, high-impact borders. But don’t get fooled by pretty blooms—Titchmarsh’s got a few plants on his “nope” list, including pampas grass (a messy, invasive nightmare) and large-flowered gladioli (church-worthy, not garden-worthy). His secret pick? The wild, smaller gladiolus byzantinus. It’s all about picking what fits your space—and your style.
