Rock Feature, Barnsdale Gardens from http://www.davidkennardphotography.com
A rock feature in Barnsdale Gardens, Rutland, UK. The rock feature was originally built for photographing alpine plants for the Gardeners' World Practical Gardening Course book. Coarse grit was mixed with the soil to create a growing environment suitable for the alpine plants.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnsdale_Gardens):
Barnsdale Gardens in Rutland, England were made famous by Geoff Hamilton through the BBC television series Gardeners' World which he presented from 1979 until his death in 1996. They are situated on The Avenue in the parish of Exton, a short distance north of Rutland Water.
Geoff Hamilton began developing the garden in 1983 from what was then a ploughed field. It now covers 8 acres (3.2 ha), comprising 37 individual gardens and features.
