No, Eckie, this is just a private garden measuring approximately one third of an acre (178 foot long and 52 foot wide). My husband and I share a passion for gardening - which is helpful! With the time, energy and money involved, it has to be a joint venture. We will both be retiring by the end of next year, so we will have more time but less money!!!

With both of us working full time, it's been a frantic year with 7 open days and 7 days of filming so far for BBC Gardeners' World. Next year we are planning 10 open days, starting in February - the depth of our winter, and finishing in October - when it will be mid autumn.

WOW!!! The best sloping border I have ever seen. How did you do that? I am only a beginner, oh it is soooo lovely.

Fourseasons..

Welcome Michaela!

The border is in terraces supported by large rocks. The colourful flowers are begonias and they are in containers of one, two or three tiers. We can quickly remove them in the autumn and store the corms for the winter. Without the containers of flowers we can then appreciate the changing leaf colours of the acers and azaleas.

In the spring we have lots of azalea colour and supplement that with pots of daffodils and tulips which, again, we can move when they are over their best. We store them in a corner of the garden out of the way so that the leaves can die down naturally.

I am so jealous - I am a novice gardener and am trying to learn through trial and error. I find mistakes can be very expensive. This year I am buying more perenials and shrubs to save having to buy so many bedding plants every year.

I would love a garden like this. I would never want to go to work, just sit and look at the flowers all day...
