A gravel garden through the seasons
Tim Vojt sent in a series of photos showing his Ohio crushed rock garden through dissimilar time of year . He writes :
I was inspired by Beth Chatto ’s gravel garden book to see what would grow in the pretermit gravel parking tablet behind my 1911 home . It had conglomerate a underweight layer of greensward well before we buy the theatre , so I stripped that off , cleaned it up , added stone and the sandstone column , and started planting . I ’m constantly changing it up allot to my whims and what does ill or is over - exuberant .
What a majuscule way to wrench a difficult patch into a beautiful garden !
