The Desert Wash at East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden (Norfolk, England)


Yesterday, I shared photos of the East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden. Today, more from that garden, specifically "The Desert Wash". Here is the description from their website:

"The Desert Wash resembles an Arizonian landscape made with Norfolk flint stones and is home to an astounding collection of drought tolerant, semi-tender plants that surprise and delight. Too many to mention individually but Puyas, bromeliads from South America, Agaves and Aloes from Africa and the Americas jostle for space here. This collection is added to annually and nothing is wrapped against the ravages of winter, plants have to take their chance but with excellent drainage to prevent water lying around their roots, they cope."
