This was a display stand at Hampton Court Garden Show a few years back..The Roses and front planting were real, but the rest just a clever artistic Trompe l'oeil effect..but what an effect!

I think gardeners are an artistic breed Flori....I don't mean that we are all out there with paint and easel but just look at the gardens we see......and the beauty in rows of vegetables
