I imagined marginals, waterside plants. and bulky clumps of foliage. I had dog company, and I watched Tajdog snuffling along the water's edge, poking his nose into the messy grasses and flattening all vegetation. I built a modest stone retaining wall and the Dogpath slowly crept along the water's edge. A batch of free bare root roses arrived and further expansion became necessary. There is a simple seat on the Dogpath, surrounded by pansies and roses, where you can sit and rest.
Time flies by with the gently swirling water, and the air is filled with the fragrance of roses.
The Start of Jackside Border and the Dogpath Middle Bridge with Middle Path leading on from it divides the new development over the water race into two distinct gardens. The main Dogpath runs from Middle Bridge upstream along the water race. At the start of the Dogpath I've planted a Yellow Wave flax and some tussocks, with a Euphorbia Martini in behind them. Their grouping results in this foliage picture. I guess I'd better let him show off.
