| Topiary: Living sculpture |
|
 |
|
From your humble garden hedge to 15 foot teddy bears, topiary has a place in every garden.
And there's a wider choice of plants than you might think - Claude Mollet would be proud, we're sure...!

| Beautiful bark |
|
 |
|
The skill of a garden designer is to create a mix of plants that show their very best whatever the season.
No doubt it's a difficult balancing act, but once autumn leaves have fallen there is great beauty to be found in bark.
It's not just about flowers, foliage and fruit.
