Other Gardens 
I Have Planned 
and subulata , both of which are very pretty, Tclekia 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.
