What will grow well in my garden?
By Osborne
Suffolk, United Kingdom
I have about 6 - 8 inches of soil on top of a solid layer of chalk. The top soil is so fine that any moisture immediately drains to the chalk layer. I have dug in bags and bags of soil cobnditioner, but it does not seems to make a lot of difference. Can I grow the plants listed for a chalk garden?

Try and visit a local 'independant' garden centre. They will be familier with the local conditions and will be very happy to advise you.

Sorry Osborne, not quite sure what you're asking - do you have a list of plants for chalk and you want to know if you should plant (in which case yes) or are you asking for plants which will grow on chalk?
