Pathway to colour

摘要

Meandering paths of grass and bark lead you round Pat Mansey's Norfolk garden. She explains to Liz Walker how replacing her lawn with broad sweeping borders and shapely inland beds has made more space for planting. While most of us are looking out ata sorry tangle of twigs and bare soil this month, Pat Mansey's winter garden is a voluptuous mass of winter flowers and foliage, hips, berries and bark textures, organised into broad island beds with grassy walkways in between. "There's always somethingnew to look at when I come out to wander round the garden," she says, pointing out some precocious daffodil shoots.
