Description

A planting scheme and rockery utilising a yellow painted old boat. These rather kitsch planting schemes (and arrangements of creels, rocks, driftwood and etc.) still seem to abound in the north east, boats on the coast and wheelbarrows and farm carts inland. I rather worry how many once serviceable (and beautiful) traditional vehicles have been destroyed for this purpose for, to my taste, no aesthetic gain.
