Hi Bjs... Thanks. It's a permanent planting..
The heathers seem to have all year interest with their green foliage...
26 Mar, 2010

26 Mar, 2010
Delightful!
26 Mar, 2010
That is very pretty TT ... :o))
26 Mar, 2010
Very fetching TT love the planting combination. Did you make the planter with broken slabs or was it a bought one.
26 Mar, 2010
Thanks Sandra, Volval, Amy and Stroller....
I made the planter some years ago at my previous home, and somehow managed to bring it with me to my new garden. I must have used strong concrete, because the slabs all stayed fixed to eachother. LOL.
26 Mar, 2010
Super effect TT just love it, nice to see the tulips are enjoying the sunshine :o)
26 Mar, 2010
I love the idea of your planter, TT (and the thought of you moving it to your new home all intact). I wouldn't have left it behind either. Beautiful planting. You certainly have an artistic flair.
26 Mar, 2010

30 Mar, 2010
Hi Pg, Anne and Richard...
Thanks...
I'm pleased you like this design... :o)
30 Mar, 2010
That's a pretty mix Terratonie. The heathers do well don't they and so many varieties to choose from.
30 Mar, 2010
Hi Linda...
Yes...heathers have lovely colours.
Thanks. :o)
30 Mar, 2010
Very very beautiful and artistic.
30 Mar, 2010
Hello Tommy... thank you... :o)
30 Mar, 2010
Several gardens in this close have large heathers growing and the wild bees have been feeding from them. The soil must be right for them here.
30 Mar, 2010
Thats beautiful Terra, a real eye-catcher. :o)
30 Mar, 2010
Thanks, Sandra....
It's still flowering well in the rain ! :o)
30 Mar, 2010
Terratoonie:
Very beautiful flowers! Love the stone table! : > )
31 Mar, 2010
Hi Delonix...
Many thanks...
I made the stone feature from broken pavings :o)
31 Mar, 2010
Terratoonie:
Wow! You're very creative and skillful with stone building! : > )
31 Mar, 2010
Lol. Thanks.
Broken pavings...
I just made up the design as I built it..
.. the same way I do with most things in my garden...
no exact plans.. :o)
31 Mar, 2010
Gosh TT, I didn't realise you'd made it yourself - clever girl !!
31 Mar, 2010
Hi Terry60 ~ I made this some years ago....
The tricky bit was, after a few years, moving it with me to my current home...
...all the paving pieces stayed fixed together, so it must be strong concrete.. Lol. :o)
31 Mar, 2010
Blimey - it must weigh a ton (or more!!) - very pretty tho'
31 Mar, 2010
Which heathers are they Tt?
31 Mar, 2010
I love the Tulips Tt..They look as if they are showing us your Feature!
Looks so wonderful...
31 Mar, 2010
Hi Freesia..
Thanks.. I'm very pleased with the tulips. :o)
Not sure of the heather varieties, Bornagain.
If I find labels I'll add another comment on this thread....
1 Apr, 2010
The heathers are great Tt love the mix of colours...very nice, if you find
labels, will look forward to your comment....: >))

9 Apr, 2010
how did I miss this??? looks gorgeous, neatly compact - what's the base made of? and how's it looking now?
28 Mar, 2014
Hi Fran .. Thanks.
the base is just broken pavings ...
It looks quite similar now...
the heathers have spread a bit ...
28 Mar, 2014
good to know.
now all i need is a lorryload of broken paving ...
