A Change on my Patio

Fab,nice to hear you again!! Its a hardwork when u start this garden but the outcome is very simple and yet so beautiful you have the best design and especially the jars it adds more attraction to the plants and this is fabulous and my two thumbs always up for you:-)))

Oh look at that!!! Its just fabulous!! If i lived nearer i would be round as fast as you opened for your NGS day!!! I went to Pershore Open Gardens on Sunday ~ visited 10 different ones, some very lovely but not one the gem that yours is ~ you dont need to worry ~ your garden is absolutely lovely.

That is just brilliant! No problem letting people in to see that!

Good luck with your open garden day, the wall looks amazing and goes very well with that fantastic garden you have, I love it all I wish I was coming to your open garden day it looks brilliant.

Lovely to see you back here Mossy, and what a fantastic job you have done building that wall! It is brilliant . . . very much looking forward to your Open Garden Day, and of course everyone will love your garden. :)

Oh wow, that's a beautiful addition to your space Mossy! Well done and it's great to hear from you again after your long break. :))

Welcome back Mossy, have missed you. Your new wall is wonderful and looks like it has always been there. i love the pots on your wall, good luck for your open day, everyone will fall in love with your garden.

Glad you are back Mossy.....I can see you have built yet another beautiful wall. Good luck with the open day. If I was nearer I would come.

I live quite close Mossy. I am in Kent. Could you put details on of where to find you. I would love to visit your beautiful garden. The wall looks fab - like its been there for years!

mossy and poppy please can you put lots of pictures on?!

that's great Mossy...

Really look good!!

Wow! What an improvement!! Good luck with your open day :)

Thank you all very much for your nice comments. Since I returned from France in March, my life has been very hectic and I didn't have much free time, but hopefully although I am still busy with work, I will have more time to socialise on GOY.
Once more thank you all.

I so love the colour of the stone you have used , its beautiful and complements your wonderful pots and plants...well done Mossy!!....:>)

Good luck with your open day, everyone will love your garden it has so much imagination, and that wall is just wonderful, you have some beautiful pots, and I am so pleased to see that your tree fern is alive and well, so good to have you back F.

Genius! Those gorgeous pots with hostas get me everytime.Good Luck Mossy

I just new it wasn`t going to be any old standard wall and I wasn`t disappointed its a beautiful feature in its own right.

Thank you again for your nice comments, it was a long journey, but worth doing. For the past four days all my plants including the fern tree have been growing absolutely mad. I just hope the weather continues like these for a while.

Welcome back, have missed you, the wall, pots and plants look absolutely fabulous, you must be so pleased now it is finished. So look forward to your blogs in the future. Hope this fabulous weather stays with us. You are a genius, so much talent.

What a spectacular job you've done! It looks so good and the new patio area is just terrific with all those pots. I do so hope your open day goes very well. I just know anyone who visits your garden will be very impressed and I'm sure you'll hear loads of fantastic comments. Enjoy the day.

Fantastic Mossy, your neighbours are lucky they live next to you.
Do you have a date for the opening of your garden? I would love to come around, maybe message me with some info?

Thank you all again for the nice comments. It is good to hear from you again Funguy, my garden in Chigwell is open on 17th June and 21st July (hopefully it will not be pouring with rain).

Good Luck Mossy, not that you will need it as your garden is amazing what-ever the weather. I hope it stays dry though.

I think your garden is fantastic too, even in the rain. But for the 17th i wish you luck. My brother is opening his garden on the 17th!

Oh I do like your wall. It has a lovely mediterranean (spelling)? feel to it, which is possibly not all that surprising. You have made it look very warm and welcoming. I need to soften mine with plants etc, but as it is only just finished, that will take a bit of time - and money LOL
Well done, you have worked wonders. Jx

Once again, thank you all for your very nice comments, it was a long journey for me Jane, but it was worth it and I am sure it is the same for you. The choice of the stone is just right and I know your garden will be beautiful when it is completed.

:) Jx

Mossy let us know how your open garden goes please.....

Fabulous garden Mossy!

How has your garden fared with all the bad weather Mossy? ☂☂☂☂

The area where I live is very exposed and there has been quite a lot of damage, like most of peoples gardens. Because I have been out every morning and evening to do a few bits and pieces of in the garden, trimming etc., it is actually not possible to see any damage. I hope in North Yorkshire you have not been too affected.

Glad to hear not too much damage then. We have had a hell of a lot of rain and some of it, very heavy. Damage on 2 levels, the sheer force of the rain and the ensuing rot, as have had so few dry days for the last 2 months. Lost some plants (mostly annuals) and the blossom on other plants, but those will regenerate either next year or later this year if we get some sun. What an awful summer it's been. Even by British standards. Jx

I am glad the damage here has not been as bad as yours, especially as I have my NGS Open Day soon. I just hope we get some pro-longed sun. Anyway I return to France in a few weeks for the summer and I will be moaning about the heat and sun after a few days I am sure. Fx

Good luck with open day and.......................... don't moan too hard about the heat, just remember you will be coming back to more lovely English weather. lol.

Happy holidays Mossy, enjoy your break.

How could I possibly have missed this blog?
Fabrice, your garden is a beautiful source of inspiration, and if I lived a thousand miles closer, I'd have been there on your NGS open day, come rain or come shine. How did it go?
I was surprised to hear your neighbour put up a fence without consulting you: aren't people strange?

My two NGS Open Days went very well. Everyone who came were very nice and I made some good friends. I will have some more Open Days next year.

Will you let us know well in advance when they are to be, please, Fabrice? I might be able to organise my trips back to the UK so I can come a-visiting.

I had to,look back Mossy and yes, I remembered this. Beautiful wall, did your neighbours still keep the fence or did they go for the far more attractive other side of your wall..:))
Well, hasn't your garden grown into its space and how beautiful it is, you must be so proud Mossy. Have you still been opening for the NGS?
So pleased your back with GoY, I for one can't wait to see more of your garden. I did wonder if the hanging spheres in your garden now are bird nesters?

Hello Janey, thank you for your nice comments. The neighbours are extremely happy about the wall and it is actually better on their side as it is not as tall. The garden has matured over the years and am still opening for the NGS but could not last year, although we had several private visits last year. Keeping fingers crossed that I can open this year. I have met so many wonderful people through the openings and when I see what the charities are doing with the money the NGS make, I know it is well worth the effort. I have many hanging bird nests and wall and tree roosters, it's so wonderful to see the small birds going in and out and nesting in some of them.
