photos needed - rockery and limestone mountains
« on: September 17, 2009, 03:51:42 PM »
The local granny club has asked me to show about 15 minutes of rockeries and alpines.

Does anyone have a photo of a typical rockery that could be seen anywhere in UK - black plastic covered in bark/soil and a few rocks set here and there with heathers or ....?

I'm also looking for a good photo of mountains - blue sky, towering grey rocks and scree

Any excuse to post a few pictures. Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

Martin, you CAN promise me that these views are NOT from the back of the Holday Inn, Stratford on Avon, can't you?  :-X :-\

They seem to have forgotten the plants Martin, or are they just at the planting out stage?

You'd think they'd clean up the mess they left at the bottom of the rockery! ::)
