Well I don't have Frank Birch and have never heard of it. Humm. I need that one so will be looking. One of the most beautiful gardens I ever saw was so simple. They had taken out the front yard and made small mounds, in the mounds they had various cistus and ceonothus. The pink, purple and white of the cistus with the blues of the ceonothus was just stunning. And how much simpler can you get than that? Of course it would not work for me. I can already see myself saying, well I will just tuck this grevillea in on the side and oh, I could add a grass or two and I would keep going until the beauty of the simplicity of it would be ruined. Then I would see it all choas and mix matched and I would smile at the mess of it all.
Thanks for the pictures Gypsy, very nice and very motivating.
