With these show gardens there has to be a central idea, from which the garden is created. with the Spanish garden I featured from Malvern recently, I was struck by how the designers had a clear idea of each resident in the street they created.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-17390895422728208202015-06-03T15:06:29.139+01:002015-06-03T15:06:29.139+01:00In my humble opinion...Most gardens have a story d...In my humble opinion...Most gardens have a story don't you think?...why did you plant that particular plum tree; why is there a lilac outside your bedroom window. However, I would find it very difficult to communicate why that lilac is there. It is for the artist by word and image to tell us the story and evoke emotion in a garden. <br />RHS.

I would far rather visit a 'real' garden where plants flower when they should, grow as they should, to the size that they should.<br /><br />To me show gardens are like paintings using plants are the medium to show ff the artwork of the designer and not a living thing, I wonder whether they will have the same impact next week, next month, next season or next year after the plants sare to grow and petals fade.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
