Love the way you have flowers cascading over your rock walls. It softens the sharp edges, and add character to the wall, and gives it a aged look. Always wished I had a rock wall to work with. You've done and excellent job with yours.!

We are very lucky to have quite a lot of blue lias walls - the cottage is built from blue lias - dates back to 1530, and I'm always digging up lumps of it, possibly from old walls no longer here.

It sure is, Dd, and it all looks very different now. That yew tree has gone, and my pretty little Cupressus is there instead. The horrible hedge with brambles running riot isn't there, either, and nor are the Leycesterias. I really didn't like them.

I am horrified when I look at pictures of the garden when we first opened for the NGS, it was horrid in places!!

There are always areas to re-do, aren't there. Is a garden ever finished? No, never.
