A clear crisp day to see Katherine and Peter's Garden. the rain held off all day which gave us time to see the two Gardens. Thank you to the two Garden owners.
The art of the new rock garden by stonemason Greg Boldiston from Longinomus. just settling in now a year old since it was first built at Post Office Farm private garden.
Stephen and Craig's garden 'Tugurium' at Macedon.
Two crevice area's to be planted out above and below. The quartz below in the crevice does not show up on these photos, but it has been cleverly woven into the slope of the crevice below.
The same crevice area, but a close up showing the tightly packed stones that will help to maintain temperature and moisture to the roots of the plants when planted out.
Eramthis hyemalis were in drifts, Peter said he digs them up and spreads them around, they were doing very nicely.
Some of the early Galanthus were coming up in the garden, this large flowering G. x elwesii from Tonkin Bulbs caught everyones eye as the flowers were quite large. Below a bright patch of C. coum.
My thanks to Susan and Margi for their photos.
A garden full of rare shrubs and trees and self sowing Cyclamen libanoticum.
Camellia amplexicaulis above and below with its large deep red shiny new foliage and purplish red blooms. From Vietnam and Yunnan Province, China. Photos thanks Fermi.
A secluded pond tucked away with a variety of plants, as Stephen said he likes to use plants with different leaves and foliage to create interest in the garden.
An eye-catching Hawthorne, Cratagus mexicana native to the Mountains of Mexico and parts of Guatemala. White flowers in Spring a tough and hardy small tree that can be hedged.
