Peter Marshall is giving The Forecourt a quick upgrade with a new drystone wall and and a raised bed filled with compost.
The stones have all been collected from around the property and the compost is from our composting bins. Very satisfying.
The bed will be planted with aromatic Catmint, Nepeta cataria, featuring delightful pale lilac/blue flowers and silver grey foliage. This looks fantastic against the soft pinks and earth tones of our local stone and our particular variety is propagated from plants that have grown here in The Old Cottage Garden since around 1880, so we know it survives our conditions.
