BBC Gardener's World Live Show Garden '14 - Day Two

Day two of our build up of our show garden, more rocks around the pond were added whilst pond liner was hidden, more moss was added, the magnolia was placed into the pond, and more ferns and selaginella were planted around the back. It's looking good!!

BBC Gardeners' World Live Show Garden 2014 build up - Day One

Today was our first day of building our Beautiful Border's show garden - A Window In Time, A Garden To Be Frond Of. We've already done most of what we need to do in only one day which is a great relief. And a big thanks to Nigel for helping us out, giving us advice, and driving the van! 

Here are the photos from the start of the day through to the end of the day:

Becky, me, and Nigel with the finished result of day one's hard work!

Dyffryn Gardens visit!

After a lovely trip to Hidcote, me and Becky got to visit Dyffryn Gardens on Thursday 5th June. A big thank you to Glyn for letting us come and for being a great host! I only wish we had had more time to explore and hear all about the history and the future plans, but I shall definitely be back soon.
I hope you're ready for more photos!!
