inchie alphabet




K is for Knot garden.


I simply love formal herb gardens
especially if located in a walled garden
perhaps a Monastery or stately home.
Beautiful geometric designs
planted out with herbs & spices.


I've used Rosemary in my inchie -
the only herb I could find in my garden earlier !

    Oooh, I wish I could smell it! I love knot gardens too, and your unusual inchie is a lovely colourful reminder of them.

    I do love how you think outside of the 'inchy' box. Another great inchy.

    Knot garden would never have popped into my head. Although I love them.... I love formal gardens, I have lots of box balls and box hedges in my (small) garden and clipped yews .... green is my favourite colour!!!!

    What a pretty design! Just noticed one of your favourite books is the Secret Life of Bees - I finished reading that recently...it is a really insightful and thoughtful book - I gained a lot of wisdom from it xxx

    Colarbone? Ouch! Not fun - and certainly not on holiday...I've not properly seen the film of the book yet but someone else said the exact same thing as you... xxx

    I like this one. I too love both Not Gardens and Knot Gardens... tho' Not Gardens tend to be a bit empty of flowers! I love the Sussex gardens at Wakehurst Place and Nymans, those are fabulous. Sissinghurst is lovely too from what I remember.

    Here in the East Midlands... Nottingham has an Arboretum, which was a lovely surprise to me a few years back. I shall go again in the Summer.

    Wow - fabulous Inchy - I think we can safely say no-one else will do that theme! Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs - great for the concentration so I always make sure my kids have a sprig of it when they're doing their exams.
