Have Joseph Paxton's rocks been moved about at Chatsworth? Something is different, I think the artistry has gone.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Yes, the whole rockery has been re designed by Tom Stuart Smith, along with large areas elsewhere in the garden.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    @punkdoc Oh dear. You can now see the house from the rock garden a great vista.
    Sadly you can't improve on what was perfect. I visited yesterday and overheard someone make this same comment.
    The planting around the maze was stunning a great departure from the rose garden before.

    I don't have a problem with it, and I think the planting has been improved considerably. I am lucky to go regularly, as I only live a few miles away.

    @punkdoc I agree regarding the planting. You can also buy some of the plants they grow in the garden.
