Take a virtual tour of this exciting garden, started by Elizabeth & Martin Walker in 2005. ----------- Some established trees and a small stream attracted us to this site in the New Forest. The soil varies from light sand to heavy clay, so our planting is also varied - from lush tropical to drought lovers. There are frequent underground springs and seams of gravel which run with water. We have captured this water - and also our roof water - and store it in our old septic tank. It is used to irrigate the entire garden and flush loos! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come and visit this colourful garden in August under the National Garden Scheme. - www.ngs.org.uk - Willows Open Dates for 2012 - 21st & 22nd July, 18th, 19th, 25th, 26th and 27th August.
