    I am sorry to see that Shiney. Why not offer them some juicy expenses - they will soon perk up again. :D

    I'm still on the look out for that plant as I never seem to see it for sale, but would love some.

    I can't see the pic (work's network grinds to a halt at lunch time), but I presume you are talking of the little glossy leaved plant with clusters of bright red berries?

    If that's it, I have a small number of them (3 at last count) growing in my garden that I don't want, so if someone can advise on how/when I get them ready for packaging and transporting, you can have them for p&p cost. I know nothing about them though, whether they are annual/perennial/biennial, or whether they have tap roots that don't like to be disturbed, whether they are evergreen or deciduous etc.

    Hi Aaron,

    Here's a picture of the bed in April. Send me a reminder in March and I'll dig one up for you. :thmb:

    Cheers Shiney (border looks good as well).

    Is that a sculpture in the top left of the photo? I'm looking for something similar for a very similar sort of area - anymore information on it?

    Hi Aaron,

    The sculpture is nearly 30 years old so has lasted well. A couple of years after that the scuptor moved on to working in metal. He now lives in Sussex and teaches at an art college. If you wish, I can ask him whether he still does private work - I think he does.

    Looks good. I'll let you know, just having a think about what I want (and what material!).
