The man from the National Garden Scheme says yes


We just got accepted for the NGS open garden scheme! We first offered ourselves up a few years ago, but were scuppered by the dodgy access issues and -ahem- lack of hard landscaping on the site, making it all a bit hazardous for the typical NGS mature visitor!
This time however, the building works are on track so we plan to open late August 2008.
Meanwhile we have planted - exploiting the sodden August weather - our bog at last with a yellow colour scheme throughout: Primula bulleyana, primula sikkemensis and the splendid yellow and purple veined iIris 'Holden Clough' with a few carex grasses and evergreen ferns intermingled.

Wow liked the gardener. How did you find a handsome chap like that? Skulking around Blacksail hut, no doubt.
The ferns are a bit of alright too!
