Longniddry garden

Nine months after planting and the grasses and perennials in this West Lothian garden are establishing nicely. The Miscanthus planted on top of earth mounds lends height without obscuring the view out over the golf course to the Forth and Fife beyond.

Growth at Longniddry

9 months after planting herbaceous and grasses are establishing well in this North-facing garden. Trees and shrubs have leafed out well and climbers are starting to scramble up the stainless steel wiring grid attached to the East facing boundary wall.

Hopefully this will regenerate now that Summer rain has reappeared. Within the garden is a small stumpery where ferns are establishing nicely:
