Scully Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Very nice. Must admit I very much like a red brick walled garden, especially a kitchen garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Fantastic ! did you remove all the concrete or use a grass lookalike and planters/containers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vine on the building to the left and the C.montana on the back wall are planted only 300mm apart and trained in opposite directions. The rose on the arch is in good soil as is the honeysuckle to the right but the latter had to be planted behind the wall and trained over the top of it. The former use was as the village garage and the concrete is very thick so I left it down and laid plastic turf in five minutes. There are some planters on the right, the most effective one has a large Aucuba japonica in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
