NEC Gardeners World - a few of the gardens

 African garden - painting walls with strong colour - magenta and burnt orange here - really lift the mood even on a dull day.  Used here with wood, wicker, bark and some simple planting.

 I love the combination of foxgloves and old pots with lichen in this 'Birmingham Borders' category of garden designed by a student Ben Corah.   Some of my own foxgloves are in flower now but I'm still waiting for the chocolate ones.

 The grey-green of the aloes, lavender coloured cushions and wood + sedums made a calm, minimal and low maintenance garden.

An interesting idea of what to do with an VW if you have had enough of repairing it!

New title for my blog - Gardenista - Linda's Art and the Garden

I had planned to start a new blog in order to mark a new phase in my printmaking, however, it's proved easier to just give my existing blog a new title.

I've been working on images relating to the garden on and off for some years and plan to make it a focus for a while now.  I want to comment on my garden, other gardens and garden-related things as well as the art I make that relates to it.

I'll see how it goes....
