I think one of the successes of that garden is that there's always more to see. I notice some seasonal changes, too, comparing your views to mine. And I'd never known about the fossils in the travertine!

This post is really REALLY exciting and interesting. i agree with irwin - see garden making like painting, concerned with colour and shape and how they work together more than particular species. I am going to divide my society garlic to get a massed planting too. Another mind blowing thing is the metal constructions festooned by bougainvillea - looking perfect Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503383579285260292.post-70401726354301036142009-11-28T16:21:00.772-08:002009-11-28T16:21:00.772-08:00Looks like fun!
