I feel like there's so much to learn on the horticultural side, and when I see a great plant or combination but no labels then I feel like I'll never be able to replicate it.<br /><br />Those white labels seem a bit bright in the photos, though, and I wonder whether if you're trying to do a reconstruction of a medieval physic garden the labels don't detract from it. Did they blend a bit better in real life? Cameras can play funny tricks!jpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596375898484148878noreply@blogger.com
