claimed would (and did) fool the judges. I have searched the web for
companies that might supply high quality artificial rocks without
success.
Can anyone on the forum recall the garden at the Show and/or know a
company that sells such materials?
Many thanks

Second link looks interesting. I wonder what the neighbours would think if
palm tree suddenly appeared in my garden!

Many thanks.
I am horrified at the prices.
Also, I was looking for some smaller artificial rocks for capping the rim of my new pond. These sites seem only to offer large rocks. At these prices it looks like natural stone would be better/cheaper for the smaller pieces and artificial for any large rocks.
Thanks again
