Been a while since I posted anything on here.
Congrats are in order for Wes Fleming, and Phillip Johnson who I had the pleasure of meeting at one of our site visits (as part of my Sustainable Landscaping course) on their immense win at the Chelsea Garden show - Best in Show recently.
I remember hearing Wes Fleming on the radio being interviewed and they seemed to be putting weeks of work in to the installations of a garden that is effectively a billabong.
The footage I saw on the above link and at Google Images for the Best In Show garden look interesting - but don't seem to do full justice to the details of the garden itself - they probably need to show more photographs so that the public can fully appreciate the native garden aspects (I believe Western Australian natives were used) and wild-flowers which create wonderful pollination plants. I'm hankering for a close up of the wildflowers.
I take it the boulders are in true Phillip Johnson style going to be reused so that fresh froggy habitats may be created in new locations - but we all need to be mindful of the carbon footprint in transporting these huge boulders.

Without the buzzards and bees
Where would we bee?
