I’ve always been drawn to rockeries, rock or alpine gardens as they are also known as.
Although I hadn’t really visited the actual landscapes these are designed to replicate when I started my career in gardening I’d always loved looking at images of mountains, whether it was our Scottish hills here at home or of the peaks of the Alps and Himalayas.
It could also have been the fun of moving soil about and positioning rocks to create a mini mountain range in the garden of my family home, all the way down at the other end of the scale at sea level.
