Our Garden: the rock is revealed

How Does Your Garden Grow 141203

As winter approaches and the trees lose their leaves, rock is revealed. Our garden has amazing rock formations. And, we’re not talking little boulders here, we have rocky outcrops; cliffs in the making, and climbing walls of the future…

While they may not be plants, they are a significant part of our garden and over the next year working around them, and enhancing the various terraces created by them, will be a key part of our planning.

So, I give you our rocks..!

  1. Your garden must be massive. Very jealous but keep the pics coming. I love the ideas you have about what to do with them. Your own personal climbing wall, that really does sound fun :-)

    1. It is quite big, although in honesty, I’m really not sure what to do with it all! Quite a large part of it is covered in rock though :) My husband would love to make a climbing wall… Perhaps when the kids are a little older – could be fun for a Scout activity!

  2. Wow, they are some serious rocks! Definitely great future climbing material! My 4 year old would love them :) I’ll be interested to see how you incorporate them into your (what must be a massive!) garden :) #hdygg

    1. Our boys think they’re great! The garden is quite big, but rather a lot of it is covered in rock :) It’s going to fun working out what to do at the bottom of them to make the most of the areas…

  3. How flipping awesome is all that rock? I would have LOVED to have had something like that in our garden when I was growing up (and now for that matter of fact!)
    I love how you are planning around it and embracing it – and how much room you have Sara – thank you for sharing and joining in again x

    1. Thanks Annie, it’s going to be a great garden for the kids once we’ve made it all a little safer, and less mud bath like :)

  4. OH MY WORD !!! how big is your garden you have your own mountain how amazing, you will be able to do so really special planting on the rocks. I bet your children have some really great adventures

      I’m hoping we can clear and restore it, we could barely see it when we moved in for all the vines :)
