There are many mistakes you can make of a practical kind, such as putting rhododendrons on chalky soil, sun-loving plants on a north-facing wall, or a pond under deciduous trees, etc, but these aren't design matters. If I want a good laugh I always look at the "inspired" gardens at Chelsea and Hampton Court. Well, they certainly make me take a deep breath just before a long sigh... I often wonder what they would like after a year when the shine has gone of the materials,the mirrors have all got splattered with dirty rain, the water features contaminated with duckweed and the decking covered with bird poo. That is the reality of many gardens and you don't need a fancy designer to achieve that. G.Harman |

@gardenbanter.co.uk says... I tried to plane my own garden one time, but in result it was compleatly lame, becouse lack of exp, so u better try to call some pro's in that case. Casual amateurs tips will not make u garden of ur dream) Nonsense. You should get out and see more gardens. There are countless wonderful and famous domestic gardens open to the public, planned and made by their "casual amateur" owners. Janet. |

His efforts at gardening were probably as bad as his spelling :-) I didn't realise until I looked at the header that it's a "gardenbanter" post. That's all we need to know... Haven't seen one of those here for a while. -- Jeff |
