Garden Today - 4th Nov 02
New walls and steps etc.
November
is a good time to get any (more) hard landscaping done as you don't mind the
mess and disruption so much as the garden starts to go to sleep and winter
approaches. The earth bank to the top lawn was eroding so, George Smith Garden
Design (see below) has built another york stone wall with a new set of steps
down the bank. Next we will put some stepping stones through the perennials on
the slope linking to the main lawn.

Beech rings. Also planted 1000s of white anemones
here for next spring |

Beech ring wall
It should last 6 years. By then
the plants on the top of the wall should have got established and
should bind the bank together. |

Probably the last pictures this year of the
pond as the leaves fall off the trees...into the pond.
Just had four new large waterlilies planted for next
year. | |
