So, last week I helped one of my former tutors Marian Boswall (conservation management plan for Greenwich Park - best subject ever) with a planting job of topiary at the front of a house in Tunbridge Wells. There were some existing box balls that were to be moved and a lot of new stuff to go in.
We began by lifting the ones that were to be moved and then cut out some turf to make the beds larger (in sunshine).
Then it rained. And rained. And rained.
Planting finished with composted bark and awaiting a specimen plant and some large orbs to set it all off (still raining).
We carried on regardless, we're British after all (well most of us were) and I will have to make a detour in a year or so to see how it has filled out and been sculpted into shape.
