I'm quite fond of rockeries. There was a large one across the front of my childhood home and it always had some colour in it. I like the way the plants tumble through the stones like waterfalls. The owners of this large garden have recently undertaken a major re-landscaping, and so the rockery is still a 'work in progress'. But it was a cheerful sight with all the yellow flowers.
I remember they were very popular back in the 1960s and 70s. Quite suited to our home County where most gardens are steep and big lumps of stone are common.
ReplyDeleteI love that...the rocks add height and interest!
ReplyDeleteI started one last year and it looks already nice this year, despite the cold weather !
ReplyDeleteIt's quite lovely already!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a lovely rockery when it grows in. It looks awfully good already.
ReplyDeleteI love rockeries too and I liked your description.
ReplyDeleteI remember us having a rockery built without too many rocks and some arbitrary seashells!
ReplyDeleteGosh I loved seeing this Jenny, its been such a long time since I've had a rockery in my garden, I really like them.
