Five weeks to the NGS Open Day.
We took delivery of the doe and baby made for us by David Gosling (contact davidgosling@landart.fsnet.co.uk)
The wire will rust eventually so they will turn a nice brown colour. Anyway,
they must be realistic as this morning there were deer hoof prints where the
real thing had taken a look!

|
| First glimpse of the deer from the belvedere |
|
|
| Also took delivery of 3000 busy lizzies. Just a part of which are shown above. Busy weekend putting them in |
|
|
| Viburnum and forget-me-nots |
|
|
| Belvedere steps with aquilegias in their prime. |
|
|
| The steps from the main lawn. The everlasting wallflowers look good. |
|
|
| Really like this view of the bed leading up to the pond |
|
|
| Finally, the wall and all the plants starting to "tumble". On the right is the new bed only built last winter. Looks established already. |
