Constructed on part of the old Mediterranean garden, this series of raised beds accommodate many of the plants that would get lost if planted out in the main gravel garden.

The low walling is constructed from ex council paving, broken up and laid exposing the rough sides. Mortar being used in such a way as to create a dry stone wall effect. Each bed is filled with a well-drained soil and top dressed with local gravel. The plants used are what might loosely be termed "alpine" plants along with small, sun loving shrubs and a selection of suitable herbaceous perennials such as Sedum, Salvia, Diascia and Nepeta to mention a few.

As with all new gardens we expect the planting to evolve as we learn what will do and look well or otherwise.
