the bones of great dixter (last week)

the autumn/winter bones of dixter

although now the garden is closed to the public for the winter , dixter still hold great events so that you can see the garden throughout the year-

last week i helped out on the Lutyens Symposium day and in return sat in on all the lectures, is was a brilliant day- there were 60 places and tickets sold out fast- the great hall was once again full of interesting people- with the fire lit and the lights off for the presentations - it was a truley unique lecture theatre-a real treat!

after lunch fergus took groups round on a garden tour, i always go on these as i know im going to pick up on something i havnt heard him say before! as always i took lots of photos, here are a few of them,



 pot display- fergus is favouring miniture conifers at the moment

maybe he will bring them back into fashion???

 select seed heads are left to add to the winter skeleton

there is a lot of cotoneaster horizontalis  around the garden ,

 and its this time of year it starts to stand out

 fergus encouraging the tour to put thier hands

 in the compost heap to warm up!
