    Goodness - that isn't a garden, it's a park! How big is it and how many gardeners do you have helping you or do you work 24/7 in it? Whatever, it is fantastic and I enjoyed wandering through it and I've borrowed a couple of ideas to perhaps try out in mine.

    Thanks for opening your garden to us. :gnthb::gnthb:

    Your alpines always look great.

    The garden is about 3/4 of an acre and there are just the two of us. Up to this year we have both spent as much time as possible in the garden. The place is not as pristine this year as I have an unhealed broken bone in my foot (since New Years Eve) and cannot do as much as I would like to.
    When we had a party round from our local Alpine Garden Society group, one of the ladies there asked how many days a week our gardener came in. My wife said "I am here all day."
    We have a good working relationship, she does the work and I take the credit.
    One day I will post the set of pictures of what it looked like 15 years ago when we began.
    Glad you enjoyed it.

    It never ceases to amaze me how you keep it looking so good even though you say it's not so good this year. A garden to be proud of.
    Well done both of you and I hope your foot heals soon, I remember how painful it can be as I chipped a bone in mine last year.
