East Ruston Old Vicarage

Alan Gray and Graham Robeson, the persistent gardeners of East Ruston Old Vicarage, have defied nature in their corner of Norfolk. Through planting shelter belts of protective trees they have created a number of spaces that boast a micro-climate that make the seemingly impossible possible.
Here is the succulent garden - my favourite element of the massive wall garden that surrounds two sides of the old vicarage. Check out the very healthy aeoniums and the cabbage-like echeverias 'Mauna Loa'.

That is really beautiful. I enjoyed looking at the scene, went on but returned again. That photo shows what can be done by potting succulents but there is also something special in the arrangement of the plants. Lovely!
