The
photos speak for themselves, but it never ceases to surprise what
a lot we have achieved in 5 years. It has been a learning experience
as we have had to contend with hungry deer and scavenging badgers.
We
have discovered that deer do not like highly scented plants so that
is what we have used along with plants that provide all year round
interest and structure.
Gertrude
Jekyll would not recognize all the plants we have used but I am sure
she would condone the charges which have been necessary - she was
a practical woman of her time and we are trying to be practical in
ours.
