Stables Garden & Dog

The Stables Garden has always been a fun small garden - its planting schemes have changed, rather than its shape and size. At the moment there is a good balance between foliage plants, perennials and roses.

The Stables Garden - Autumn 2004

This is an Autumn photograph, where the foliage plantings come into their own. The small tree (which as yet is growing quite slowly) is a variegated Elm.

A Resting Dog

In this photograph below Taj-dog is resting in front of the Stables Border. This small garden is built around the horse hitching rail, and has always been on the move, undergoing redevelopments. Some of the plants that you can see in this early photograph have been shifted (particularly the Shasta Daisies in the background).

The Stables Garden - Summer 1999

Dear old Taj-dog has since got a whole lot older and whiter around his face and muzzle. In this picture his fur is free from grey hairs!
