A couple of weeks ago I recognized one of the finalists gardens in The Daily Mail on Saturday, it was Fabrice!! there were four finalists in The National Garden Competition….one who’s garden we had visited under the NGS in Hampshire, and Mossy! plus two others!
Then last night on Gardeners World, who should we see but Fabrice!! I was a huge fan of his garden, and hoped he might go on to win the competition, unfortunately he did not…..
This is a photo from his fabulous garden……..only borrowing it Fabrice (Mossy)
For those who like unusual and interesting gardens, do take a look….

My dad wasn't keen on it, he was a soccer fan ... and I have a nephew who hates it :)
I've seen GW now. What a fantastic garden ! Shows what can be done with a bit of thought.
And what about that man in his 90s still gardening. I hope to be like that lol :D

Dawn's right it is a Pyracantha Amy you can cloud prune any shrub that is suitable material, I am doing a money tree at the moment !....Siris my type of garden indeed!
Hywel it would be marvellous if we could all manage our gardens at 97!! lol

It would look so nice against my house wall. I saw some dead straight whips at GC today. Do you think thats what I would need to begin with?

Pyracantha takes a long time to get going, and wants to be established before you start cloud pruning it.......look at some videos, there are lots out there......

Hello Everyone,
Sorry that I have not been on here for some time, but this was due to health and family problems.
Thank you very much Dottydaisy and Cottagekarer and all my GOY friends for all your nice comments.
The past few months have been very tense between the Daily Mail National Garden Competition and particularly the BBC Gardeners World episode 25, but which I now don't regret and I can now see the garden as a spectator...lol.
It is so nice that I have not been completely forgotten.
Thank you all, Happy gardening,
Fabrice

Well I shall look forward to seeing him tonight. We don't get Gardener's World on a Friday here. The welsh are more interested in rugby
(all except me ... I hate it !)
The photo is very interesting :)
