Crevicebed

[Peter Korn, Sweden]

Yesterday I and Viktor built a limestone crevice garden for Ulla Hansson in Bollebygd, east of Gothenburg. It will be planted in the spring and then covered with limestone gravel.

Hey, Peter! That looks good.
Lucky Ulla, but she did not tell us that she was getting you to make this garden for her... a lady of mystery, heh?  
 You would not  be making such a project in Aberdeen this week... the weather is terrible!

[Peter Korn, Sweden]

She helped me repotting bulbs so I helped her with the rockgarden.

A fair exchange!

Peter I hear good reports from your Belfast lecture. Sadly I had to work

[Lesley Cox]

I hope Ulla will keep us up to date with the planting to come, and then flowering. We can't get enough of these fascinating gardens.

[Ulla Hansson]

I will try to keep you updated, the problem is that I do not know how to add images.
  Peter is an amazing man, strong and fast, and with an eye for how to build a bed. His helper, Viktor, is a very nice young man, with an interest in what is growing. Maybe he's a future botanist.
 When spring comes, I hope that Peter will come back and help me to place the pots.
  It is a very exciting project that has begun. The crevisebed is beautiful as it is, but I look forward to filling it with plants.

Ulla it's easy to post photos. I hope my screen shots show you how

Hej Peter.
Nice and fast work.
Congratulation on your new bed, Ulla.
I totally understand your happiness over the new bed because Zdenek Zvolanek spent some of his holiday in Denmark in September with us. With help from a couple of our friends he replaced our two old crevice beds with a new 45m2 bed. For construction of the bed is used the sandstones from the old beds and 6 tons of new stones. I moved as many plants as possible from the old beds and had a lot of seedlings so there are already some plants in the bed, but also plenty of room for planting next spring

wow it looks brilliant!

[Luc Gilgemyn]

I couldn't agree more !
Two wonderful new features both in Denmark and in Sweden - and made by two TOP crevice champions !
I definitely want to see how things develop !! 

[Ulla Hansson]

Thank you Mark, I will try.

 Kirsten, your new crevisebed looks fantastic.
 It is wonderful to have such talented friends.

Lucky Ulla and Kirsten. Your crevice beds are fantastic. I look forward to see more pictures in the spring.

[Olga Bondareva]

I am delighted with both crevices! They look very natural and very suitable for alpines.
Peter and Kirsten, many thanks for showing building process. Wish I saw how that was built! And of course it would be very interesting to look at the crevices in spring with blooming plants.
