When most people say ” I’m in the garden” what they normally mean is that they are sitting down and relaxing. When I say ” I’m in the garden” I actually mean I am either ankle, knee, thigh, or head deep in the border, with the latter being my favourite. Towering Rudbeckia herbstonne provides this heavenly opportunity regularly through the Summer.
It is a completely different sensory experience once you clamber inside, providing a far greater sense of the dynamics of the planting, rather than viewing from the sidelines.
Being the generous gardener I am, this WInter I will create some pathways enabling my customers to climb in, so they too can enjoy their gardens from within.
