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..!
But, of course, I couldn’t leave you without a tree or two :)
Joining in with Annie over at Mammasaurus for the wonderful How does your garden grow?
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 :-)
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!
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
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…
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
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 :)
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
Thank you Helen, it’s all quite exciting really :) And, the kids love it!
Wow that is amazing! I particularly love the stone oven :-) x #HDYGG
Thank you Kirsty, have to say I quite like the oven too :)
I’d love an oven like that – it’s on out plans, minus the huge rocks though! #HDYGG
I’m hoping we can clear and restore it, we could barely see it when we moved in for all the vines :)
Wow that’s some rock, looks fab. And yes the oven looks amazing, just imagine cooking tea down at the rock! :)
Perhaps in a couple of years when we’ve sorted out the garden around it!
