Salisbury Rock Garden 2010
Josef Halda came over from the Czech Republic to guide the layout. We would leave at 5 or 6pm., and when we got back at 8am the next morning the owner would have planted up a good third of the previous days' work. This closeup is a week after stone layout and lawn repair. Limestone boulders were moved less than 3 miles.
