Inspired by D'Arcy & Everest's display of alpines at Hampton Court, we visited their nursery near Somersham. This is the result:
To get some idea of the scale, the bowl is 100cm in diameter
A good use for some of the giant flints that Reuben collected from various building sites
Time for a tea break
The plants look a bit lost but will soon grow ( fingers crossed - the tiny green dot on the left foreground is Myosotis "Eyre Mountain' so I hope it eventually lives up to it's name!)
By the time I took this photo, the sun had gone in so I hope to post a better one soon.
