Other Gardens

and subulata, both of which are very pretty, Telekia specioso 

 (a tall, yellow-blossomed plant which is highly decorative), 

 etc. The result is very good indeed. 



On one side of this rock — now a rockery — stands a 

 gnarled old oak on a hilly bank. Out of this bank we are 

 now making another rockery. The owner of the estate 

 has herself constructed the stone steps — adorned with a 

 number of plants — which lead to the seat under the oak on 

 the summit of the hill. On either side of the steps there 

 have been annuals of different kinds ; they are now going 

 to be replaced by bulbs, with a view to next spring. 



Thus the wilderness is transformed into one of the most 

 idyllic spots imaginable. Love of flowers and two years' 

 work have accomplished this. 



Such success means earnest endeavour, joy in one's 

 work, and pride in what one has accomplished. I can 

 only hope that as many as possible may experience, as I 

 have, the keen pleasure that gardening affords the actual 

 gardener.
