This is a video of our garden last Summer - I hope you enjoy it
You must be very proud -that garden is fantastic and should inspire us all to try and match it.
Looks like lot of hard work but I can imagine a labour of love.
Congratulations.
Well done, Pam....magnificent as always and such attention to detail.
That is superb! a joy to look at--- Such a mixture of colours and plants, I love it all, I have never used that amount of White, but it is something that I shall be trying this year.
You must be so dedicated, I like the idea of so many paths, Can I ask if you buy the plants in as plugs (which I do)
Even with all that greenhouse space, are you able to over winter many of your plants?
That was a treat just to look at......
It's absolutely beautiful. Makes me really envious. Just want to know what you do in your spare time
Absolutely stunning!!! How many people does it take to maintain it? And not a weed in sight!!!
Your garden is fabulous, thanks for sharing it, I feel very inspired.

Wow. Absolutely stunning!
Amazing!!
Does your local horticulural society hold garden tours every summer? If they do you should put your garden up for tours. Thanks for sharing with us, it has inspired me.
Thankyou all so much for your lovely comments - I am so pleased you like our garden
We are retired now so can really enjoy our garden - we are both a bit obsessive with gardening - my hubby has 2 allotments as well !
All being well we will be opening our garden in July for The National Gardens Scheme again - we haven't been able to for a couple of years due to me being very ill but i am well now!
I have one greenhouse heated over Winter - I take loads and I mean loads of cuttings of all the plants I need for my tubs and baskets and the rest I grow form plugs and seeds.
This is what my greenhouse looks like in Winter

Pam, I've known you for a long time and I know you as an extraordinary plantswoman. With your equally extraordinary & talented OH (Barry) you certainly are a formidable team.
All good wishes for 2012.
Lilylouise do you have a top 5 plants for someone who wants to achieve this look ?
An amazing garden!!!!! Fantastic. Not a single space or gap. You must spend hours and hours just deadheading alone. A real treat to see - thank you.

lilylouise,
What an organised gardener you are, your cuttings look so healthy too.
I have been going to gardens open for the National Gardens Scheme, for many years, we travel most of West Wales, I have seen some stunning gardens over the years, but never one as lovely as yours.
I used to enjoy the TV programme with Carol Cline, when she visited gardens hoping to get in to the scheme.
Just the thing to cheer up a cold, dark winter's evening.
Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Thankyou David - you are very kind All good wishes to you,too !
Kate - 5 plants I love using to get a cottagy type bedding scheme are
Marguerites
Cosmos 'Sonata'
Blue Salvias 'Evolution'
Agerautm 'Blue Mink'
Petunias
I also use variegated scented Geraniums,Laurentia and Vanilla Marigolds.
Thankyou for your lovely comments Yvieh,Grandcottagegardener,Cleverelliejo and Lorea
Thanks will add them to my list.
Have just looked at your wonderful garden and am so full of admiration.
Do you stay up all night?
Which part of thge country are you in as maybe we could visit during the open garden scheme
Hope your health is OK now. Look forward to spring.
EH
Thankyou
We live in Surrey and hopefully will be opening our garden on Sunday July 22nd

Hi Lilylouise,
Rumour has it that you are in Surrey? If so, me too, and I'll be coming to your yellow book open day. Put the kettle on and crack open the cake tin!

Your garden is absolutely fantastic. At first I thought too pinky purple but then I just thought beautiful. It's very inspirational and just what I needed.
I just wonder how you water it all. Keep up the good work this year.
