Oh 4P it's just beautiful! It looks so real rather than newly planted - I just love it  |

I am sure that the pics are lovely - just that I can't see them. All I have got are the captions!  |

No wonder it won Silver-Gilt, must have only been a smidgeon off getting a gold!! Was there any moss on the thatch?? If not I reckon that was why you missed out on gold ;D How did you get it to look like it had been there yonks? Pru is a very clever and talented woman, and you as well 4P x Tig |

Lovely. Thanks for sharing the transformation with us. Must've been soooooo exciting. Almost makes me wish I'd gone to Gardeners World Live this year!

I popped in for a visit on Friday and it really was as natural looking as the photos show. It was nice to meet up with 4P and Prue too. A very well deserved silver-gilt.

I just wanted to thank you all for your interest and support during our Big Adventure. And to say how lovely it was to meet all of you who came to say hello. I didn't know it was your birthday when you visited Bagpuss btw! I hope you had a lovely day.
It's faded into the past now but I did have SUCH a good time....and I would also like to thank my lovely friend Prue for giving me the chance to get involved. We are already thinking about her next attempt! (But only if she can get sponsorship!)

Great to see the development of the garden 4P to it's final state. I'm having a problem posting mine - neither the pics nor the links show  |

I've been waiting for these and wondering when you were going to post them on the other thread ... only just realised you'd started a new thread for them  Well done to both of you - it looks fabulous  - & the final garden looks so established, as though it had been there for ages. Really sorry they didn't show the bit they filmed of it - I thought the GW Live programme was very disappointing, hardly anything about most of the show gardens at all. |
