Sore Feet

Nothing like trekking around a garden show to get worn out!

There was a queue for tickets of course but organised so slipped in quickly.
I decide to see everything would be impossible so I went looking for ideas for the courtyard garden.(Aireys can wait)

an espaliered camellia. Bridie would like this!

Attended a good talk about espaliered trees which would work well to cover the fence we have.
There were also lots of garden art to inspire, and all on a lovely sunny day !

lots of birds and birdhouses

I want to use the succulents and stone near the water tanks

Succulents in the top of tall pots look good 

using bamboo canes in a fan shape 

these are garden edges. I like the industrial look

A crowd at the hanging Basket competition. Couldn't see John and gwen's

The beautiful exhibition building 

Gaultier!  eat your heart out!

The rose is a dense petaled one. Didn't seem to have a scent.

My lunch spot

Love the bird bath

a quirky grass display

An idea for my succulents!  I have plenty of stones!

A variation on Massed planting. Could try this on the fence
