This years RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London last week was one of the best of recent years. It is difficult to know where to start in posting the things that relate to yards and small space gardening.
The garden by Kazuyuki Ishihara, 'The Image of Parts', showed how much effect can be made of planting small spaces using mainly green foliage and Moss. Movement within the garden was provided by a high drop waterfall which gave a muffled rather than load sound of falling water as cleverly the water slid down an acrylic slope. This is a great idea if you want a feature waterfall without upsetting your neighbours with the load noise usually generated with a strong flow waterfall.
The other feature was the use of pure white cobbles running throgh the garden and in the bed of the stream. Whether they would stay white for long in the British climate I'm not so sure.
