Good alpine gardens. I've mentioned the rock garden before, and looking at your display gardens and such, there is a paucity of alpines. That's a shame. In your redesign with the LAs did the possibility of adding say, a rock garden trough garden ever come up? <em>Susan, alas alpines don't just love our wet winter, shady summer, low lying rock garden! Believe me, we've tried. But we do have a few troughs and since I'm planning on making more of a show in the container bed this year, I'll make sure to focus more attention on them. Thanks for the suggestion! -kris</em> Took a day to think about response about what at Blithewold I don’t see enough of and turned it into a question of what Blithewold is lacking?
