Peter more great work from you - you are an inspiration.
I can imagine lots more crevices beds being built around the world but will they match up to yours?
I look forward to seeing them later this month it is only when you stand beside them that you will get the scale of them.

The crevices garden is finished. Julia will plant it in april. At the same time she will fill all the crevices with thinner stones to make it to a solid rock.
It has been a pleasure to come to Pitlochry again to work in the Explorers garden. The weather is always good and Julia takes good care of us.
Hopefully I will come back with Fredrik for more work some other autumn. Now I'm going back to Sweden to build myself a new rock garden and wait for all the seedlists to arrive.
I have not planned much for next winter so if there is anyone, anywhere that need a crevices garden I and Fredrik are open for suggestions.

Well Peter, I'd really like a good crevice garden here at my home in New Zealand, if your winter is available. Of course it will be high summer here so you'll need your shorts and sunglasses. I have plenty space, can arrange the rocks and will happily feed you but the airfares and salary could be a problem. ;D

It´s a very tempting offer and I would love to go to NZ again. But I think you have to come with a little better offer.

I make very good cakes Peter,  :D and there are some good mountains around here. We are to have Finn Haugli and Ian Young come and speak to us in January. Perhaps for the following study Weekend.....?
