Plants for an open porch.
Met a lady last week who has a new completely glass sided porch facing S.
with two 1ft wide raised beds on either side. The porch does not have a door protecting it from the elements so will be cold in winter (although probably frost free due to heat loss from the house) but dry and will only get windy if a southerly, it's in Essex. Lady is enthusiastic but only just getting into gardening from what she told me so flowers are probably a must. I thought .... 1. Cacti and/or succulents...... but spines may be a problem for visitors. 2. Alpines...... a bit specialist perhaps? Any suggestions for permanent plants for such a position? -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
