Coastal Drift at Hampton Court

I've just spent the last three days at Hampton Court helping Willmott Ford to build their Coastal Drift garden in time for this year's Flower Show.  The wall and deck were the first things to go up and we have spent the last couple of days dodging the showers and trying to get the wall filled and painted.
It finally stopped yesterday long enoungh to get the final two coats of paint on it and it looks magnificent and really stands out from all of the other gardens when viewed from the end of the row.   




 Waiting for the delivery of compost and sea shells.

 Planting up the wall with grasses to create the movement of the waves.  It works, especially with the recent gale force winds.





Willmott Ford after five hard days work on their creation, just the posts and the planting to go.
