Diarmuids garden is inclined to evoke a smile and on closer

the
planting design is superb.

I haven't seen it, but watching the tv series - particularly last
night's conclusion - I got this impression. All the attention of
the tv
was on the creation of the baubles, but one got the increasing
impression that the garden was really a very fine piece of
planting,
which we barely saw discussed.

Not wishing to be to picky, it was the design of the planting and
not the
planting itself to which I was referring to as superb.
Overall, I thought the garden a masterpiece and it takes quite a bit
of
talent to employ a ludicrous gimmick which fails to detract from the
rest to
the point of redundancy.

I have to disagree. The garden was very well designed and executed,
with the exception of the coloured baubles. Without them, it would
actually have deserved the prize it was awarded.
What are we to expect in a modern garden, an unmade bed (of the
sleeping-on type)?
