Very pleased to see the box balls have finally gone along with some of the hedging and trees. The box has been dreadful since his first programme from there and I found all those trees and hedges quite oppressive.
Loved those colourful long borders and Beth Chatto is an inspiration. Lang may her lum reek.
That clematis might also be Gipsy Queen.

I had some black and very deep purple hellebores in Belgium and I'm afraid they just disappeared into the background so would only work for me in pots and nearer eye level. The creams, red, pinks, lighter purples and speckles all showed up so I didn't have to go out in the inevitable rain and cold to enjoy and admire.

I'd say it's Lovely Lyn's vision of heaven, my vision of ..... the other place.
Each to their own eh?
I'm sure it was visited on GW last season. I seem to remember it was the test area for one of the big seed companies. I might well be wrong.
I prefer a bit more style and a bit less 'in your face' colour

Good Idea Hosta. I added a bit to my previous post but lost the original. I'll never get the hang of edit.

I'm a Beth Chatto garden fan as well Obelixx, I used to live much closer than I do now and visited often. I haven't been for several years now.

I think there's a time limit to "edit" and , I think, it can't be done once someone else has added a comment . I might well be wrong.
