Garden Update August 2011

here is a good site to get you going and help you plan with some unusual plants:

Exotic Gardening in UK - Hardy Exotics Nursery

for starters, stick to plants that are hardy in zone 7 (this is UK zone 7 and not the normal zones that we are used to ... see their uk hardiness zone map)...

 

Gaz your garden looks fantastic! Does it take much looking after?

 

We do spend a lot of time in the garden, but a large part of that is just enjoying being outside. It would be possible to grow many of the plants with a lot less time, and to stick purely to the fully hardy ones and still have a great garden.

We are currently building a Koi pond, which is taking huge amounts of time, so much of the garden is having to look after itself this year.

 

Awesome Gaz :D
