ferrymead, that's exactly why most of us garden! what fun to walk around the garden every day and find something new blooming and come back in the house excited about gardening all over again.

here is a cross-stitch that I look at every day that inspires my gardening and makes me more and more want to get away from the standard suburban foundation landscaping '2 junipers, 2 yews, 2 goldmound spirea, assorted daylilies......and a partridge in a pear tree'. this is Ann Hathaway's garden (and cottage).

Baa, can you tell us? is this typical of an English cottage garden? this is how I want mine to look.
