End of June photees :-)

gorgeous, your garden is simply gorgeous al n

 

Looks great Al. What type of palm is it in pic 11, looks really good in the border amongst the other plants. Got a few canary date palms and worried they won't last the winter!

 

One of the best Gunnera bonsai I`ve ever seen

you garden looking great

 

Hi matey,
It's a chamerops humilis. Quite hardy I think. I have 3 cidp's in here too, 2 have been though the last winter no problems, one spear pulled though.

 

Lol, it's taking an age to get going, only in the last week has it put some growth on. I've been feeding it and drenching it every day. If it doesn't do well by the end of the season it's going in the local park!

 

Awe shucks, thanks mate!!!

 

Looks fabulous

Am I right in thinking you said that you painted the walls with Sandtex? If so is it Oatmeal or some other colour?

 

Thanks merle, it is sandtex, magnolia

 

Al.... that's one awesome garden. Thank you for showing us everything you've put in it - with so much thought and care. Truly inspirational,
Jenny

 

Thanks Jenny x

 

Trachycarpus or chamerops humilis - your garden has caused me to go and buy a palm tree but not sure what to go for!

 

I'd go for a trachycarpus. The garden house on the Chester high road are the cheapest I've seen and good quality. They are labeled excelsa.

 

what a stunning garden al n just perfect!!!!! want to come and do mine

 

Bought one from eBay today- should arrive Thursday! Will give the garden house a try at weekend as well.
