This is the centre piece of the garden

05/07/2005 - RHS TATTON FLOWER SHOW 2005 (Knutsford - Cheshire)

On 20th July the gardening spotlight shines on Cheshire.
We are sponsoring Coniston waller, Andrew Loudon for his show garden exhibit "Escape"

This garden is designed to demonstrate what can be achieved with a little imagination to brighten up neglected spaces within a building such as a school, office block or hospital. The garden offers a means of escape from the florescent lights and re-circulated air within the building, to a fresh outdoor space without the hustle and bustle of work or study.

It contains an L shaped walkway under a green roof with lush herbaceous planting surrounding a lozenge shape slate water feature that provides a visual amenity to lift the spirits of the visitors. The back wall is constructed from sandstone with large water washed river stones protruding slightly to give a tactile element to the journey between the two spaces that the corridor links. Famous or interesting quotes will be carved into the sandstone flags that pave this area to add interest.

At this year's Chelsea Flower Show, Andrew won a Silver Guilt Medal for his courtyard garden.

We shall have a hospitality tent & display next to the garden (78a)
.
Do call to see us if you come to the show.

08/05/2005 - Fly Fisherman in Coniston Water

Walking on water ? !

Just as I was passing near to the shallow southern foot of Coniston Water I thought I saw a man walking on water !

He turned out to be a fisherman actually standing far out on the lake bed !

Coniston Water contains many fish & has provided much enjoyment for all
for many years.

We have several cottages near here
