Hi Ian
It is nearly 20 years ago, my wife and I begin lay out our garden, but it was first after we were been member of several garden/plants societies in the 90, we really begin make our garden. We lay out rock garden (to alpine plants); woodland garden and we find rare plants in Denmark and also outside Denmark. It was the same time we begin make plants from seeds and we get contact with other plants collectors and begin exchange plants. I have visit England and Scotland three times and you have so many fantastic gardens and nurseries. This have giving me many idea and plants.
