Gnomes really do come alive !!!!

Roses n' Lavender

On my "Are You Ready" blog ... in the Winter Olympics medals table, the Global Gnomes are currently second behind the GoY Wellie Olympic Pets.... looks like this gnome has been burning the midnight oil with some extra training !

Nice to see signs of life in your garden... have you thought of making the front area into a gravel garden..? I edit the GoYpedia page for Gravel Gardens... That might give you some ideas... go to G at the base of the page, and that will take you to Gravel Garden ideas. I hope this helps :o)

Pleased someone else likes gnomes aswell as me.:o)))

Do you want low growing plants in there, Mrsmelon? How about going all dramatic with black and silver? Opiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' (black lily-turf) with a dwarf silver Artemisia would look great!

Just a thought...................................................:-)

I love the combination of Cerastium biebersteinii (or any silver foliage plant with white flowers) and decorative Alliums - Purple Sensation, Gladiator, Lucy Ball, Ambassador or Globemaster...

That sounds like a lovely combination, Uma.... :o)

Thanks, TT! Hope Mrsmelon will like this combination, it's really beautiful...:)

wow, thanks for the suggestions... been out in the garden trying to clear some of the rubble today
