hi all

if you like big beds - not sleeping beds :-))- check out the link below. It's of a garden in Southern Ireland owned by Daphne Shackleton. If you are in Southern Ireland from June to September I recommend you go see it.

How on earth would you accomplish something like that? I have the space, just need the knowledge. But, that is the hope that drives gardeners, isn't it?

Thanks Mark,
Grits

I can describe what the whole area looks like but you will have to use your imagination.

imagine a squared figure 8 where the circles are squares.

the black lines are the gravel paths around the garden.

the inside of the squares is grass.

on either side of the paths are flower beds 4 - 6 feet across. really tall flowers in the middle sloping down to low plants that tumble over the gravel.

this summer I'll shoot a roll of film for you to see how it all works
