Damn! Mine's no good then as I'm making a series of Ordinary Gardens in an Extraordinary Garden ...

Although I do have two ordinary-garden-sized rooms still to do, and still not decided what theme they might be ...

Room #1 is 24 yards x 19 yards and has a, young, oval hedge around it.
Room #2 is 40 yards x 19 yards ... Mrs K has some funky plans for a topiary garden there ...

Oh, is Alan T getting involved?

 

I can just see us all out there at the Folly Warming do Kristen. All the lasses in Cleopatra robes and all the blokes in deep purple Togas....

But just think of all the work monogramming them Jenny, eh?

 

Still need inspiration for what I'm going to do with my blank-canvass in Room #1 ... Bathroom maybe? (back to the Romans and Togas again Jenny ... )

 

I've got a brilliant garden idea for @Kristen's room 1. It's not in the least bit practical though. I got part of the idea yesterday while eating fish and chips on Saltburn pier, and part of the idea comes from my desire to create a beach garden with rock pools.

Basically, a massive pond, very sparse in terms of vegetation, but plenty of rocks. A question popped into my head while on the pier. Why are piers always fixed? Why aren't they just a chain of floating platforms so that they sway and bob with the water and the breeze. Then I got to thinking, imagine a massive rock pool with floating jetty, and several free floating gardens on them. Totally impractical of course, you'd have to swim or wade to them if you wanted to tend them. That's the almost sane part of my vision. The rest of my ideas are even more impractical than that. I think it would be brilliant
