Many years ago, when we had bought our first house, being an avid gardener, and in those days nurseries sold a huge variety of plants, unlike the supermarket mentality of today, the main nursery, Palmers, put out a plant book of what they had. I studied it and chose what plants I wanted and how to lay out the garden. We landscaped the garden with saw dust from my husbands work as a wood turner, and railway sleepers which at that stage were comparably cheap. That was 50 years ago and the garden is by and large kept as it was then. As I was told recently by my now ex-husband. So there is hope for Jane's garden yet!
