Part 3 Glamis Castle Walled Garden Restoration Project

Following on from last week’s blog in the Walled Garden.

Another start to the week and its gardening day again. I had a nice drive down to the castle today, the sun was shining but still so very cold. Karen and I did manage to get some more planting done.

We planted the Roses around the arch and some Clematis. I took a Peony Rose and two Heucheras from my garden and got these planted.

Karen took from her garden Yucca Gloriosa and Phormium Tenax Variegata and has given them a home at Glamis. You are now starting to see a big difference in the borders with all the plants we have planted.

We can now start to see plants growing.

  3. I love seeing new areas being planted up. It takes such vision and imagination in larger spaces and although those climbers look so tiny next to the arch, I sense that you are already seeing that arch smothered. I can't wait to see this develop. Thank you for sharing it.
