OMG - that garden is stunning now. I remember it from March. They've done a lovely job of the garden. I'm really wedded to the dead hedge concept from this garden. Thanks for the update!

I'd love to do a dead hedge too, but I'm not sure where I would fit it in my garden.

Alexandra what a beautiful space! I love the traditional plants and the modern woodwork. Your town is amazing :)

What a lovely place!

Thank you - it's so peaceful but also very hard-working, so I hoped people would like it.

Well designed, good materials, great planting. I'm impressed, how did they manage such a high level of maintenance with the drought we've had ?!

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

They have a system of water butts all around the garden and they siphon the water out to the butts in the middle from the butts near the buildings. I imagine they've probably had to use taps and watering cans as well, in the middle of the drought, but having lots of water butts really does mean you can make the most of the water from the sky.
