Images From Nature by Brian Wadie

My Garden

Some images of my shingle gardens in Christchurch, Dorset. These were designed in 1998 to be low maintenance and drought resistant and are planted using the "Darwinian Principle" (plants either survive or are replaced by others that do).

Neither the front or back garden is watered, apart for the first year with new plants and any container plants.

It is also a Chemical Free garden to provide a haven for wildlife (which is useful for my insect photography!)

The original back garden won an RHS small garden design award (its a 40 foot square plot)and has "mutated" through a series of small annual modifications.

If you would like to know more about designing this sort of garden feel free to contact me
