What's your idea of a trendy garden?
It certainly won't be mine! While I'm here, I'm sure I posted a question about medlar the other day but it hasn't appeared on my screen. If anyone's reading this, did you see the medlar post? Mary |

Trendy gardens
The message
from "Mary Fisher" contains these words: What's your idea of a trendy garden? Hmmm...in a totally paved walled garden, some tall purple alliums mulched with broken glass, are growing beside a vertical pane of glass. Water is running up the vertical pane of glass, and turning into fog. Dimly glimpsed through the fog, Rachel de Thame is painting her nails lime green to match the walls. A duck is nesting in her hair. A bell tolls slowly. Janet. |

I doubt that I shall see it happen a third time, but who knows? Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

My non trendy garden is non trendy now and will have been many different non trendy gardens 100 years from now. Rod |
