That would mean bad winters dipping down into the mid 20's and most years virtually frost free. I could handle that. But then again, If I'm really dreaming, I wouldn't want anything outside of a USDA zone 11. <br /><br />PS - whatever that nolina/dasylirion is, I simply must have it - I'll also take that agave and the yucca aloifolia.Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219272603726629982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-86007519129665476682013-01-14T14:24:27.540-08:002013-01-14T14:24:27.540-08:00I keep being surprised by your posts showing garde...I keep being surprised by your posts showing gardens that do not fit my image of the typical English garden at all.rickihttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-48668065335141691502013-01-14T13:02:24.879-08:002013-01-14T13:02:24.879-08:00Sorry for some reason I didn't even aim the ca...Sorry for some reason I didn't even aim the camera in the direction of the other two sculptures. I guess you'll just have to make a trip there to see them for yourself!<br /><br />The thing about visiting a garden like this for me is seeing interesting planting combinations and (especially in London) seeing how they go about providing the drainage and heat (sun) that my kind of plants need.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-49876351782981560992013-01-14T12:59:35.941-08:002013-01-14T12:59:35.941-08:00Perhaps it was a subconscious decision?

I'd love to see more of the four elemental sculptures too.<br /><br />My first thought on the first garden was: kinda boring visiting a garden that contains many of the same plants that you already grow, isn't it? Then I thought about it, and I do that all the time -- it's not boring at all!
