Well went to visit the open garden today these are a few pictures....it was densely planted even by my standards....gorgeous but HIGH high maintenance:shock::shock:
The day was cloudy and threatening rain all the time so much so the chap was offering golfing umberellas as you entered.:roll: but the rain held off.

Three sections well 4 with patio. Patio, garden/grass area; jungle complete with sound track of birds etc:-D water feature and planting to suit....:-D


Walk through with view...

Well I did sort of I know it confirmed my recent change of heart to none high care.

The garden was uperb but totaly unrealistic with my small space...:roll:.....yet I think anything of that size would take over my life.....:?......you would be paranoid about not leting it get to over run as with no time at all I imagine it would become unruley.

And it had grass and I do not have grass or a big enough space to divide "into rooms" you cannot see so you have to take in all of it from my back step or back gate.:?:?

But always nice not to be planting but to be viewing......:-D

Looks fabulous. It does look as though it requires a great deal of work to keep it that way - and time.

The colours look so nice. Glad it stayed dry.

Stunning, but definitely dense and very high maintenance. I wonder how many gardeners they employ?
