We saw this yesterday afternoon and hugely enjoyed seeing it because it
is the most terrific example of what can be done with the average-sized
garden. If you get to East Sussex, visit Driftwood Garden on one of
their many Open Days for the NGS. It's the most staggering and
inspirational garden to show what can be achieved without possessing
rolling acres but having an eye, imagination, a love of plants and
great
energy and enthusiasm. This is a real 'must see' garden, ioo. There's a
terrific range of plants, not an inch of wasted ground and all done in
the teeth of salt-laden winds.

But you don't say where it is Sacha.

Thanks spider. I'm sure that in my day the houses hadn't even been built
there.
I'm talking about half a centuary ago

The way houses are going up at the moment, it's good to know there is
still place for a special garden. It's amazing how much my old local
village has changed. I suppose it's progress, but it doesn't always
feel like that.
