A Return to Paul's Garden

By Alternativeeden @markngaz

Autumn is in full swing here and lots of expected changes in the garden are happening. Before we look into these seasonal changes in our garden let us look take you first a month back into Paul's garden first. A fabulous exotic garden that we have featured before and revisited last month as part of our Koi Club day of pond visits.

This bed greets you as you enter his garden from the side entrance, fabulous isn't it?


Then there's the koi pond of course...



Back to the planting, his display this year is just as good, if not notches higher from what he showcased last year.




His main passion of course are cacti and succulents, and there were so many lovely specimens on display.






Echeveria agavoides varieties in one display

This made me smile, a trait shared between Pacific Northwest and Southern/Coastal British garden: Cacti and Ferns growing together:

More beautiful displays...









Aeonium 'Sunburst'

Suffice to say he has an extensive collection of Sempervivums...






A little garden humor never did harm...





The only other thing that stole the show from his fabulous plants and planting is this friendly fella...



Paul's garden is certainly a place we'll be visiting year after year!
