If you visit places with gardens as we do occasionally, and did this
week, and you see some strange even plain wrong planting do you chat to
the gardeners about it?
By wrong I mean ferns in full sun and potentially huge trees, Robinia
pseudoacacia, planted almost next to the building.


Tis might interest you, Bob. The editor of this site believes firmly
that gardens open to the public are as open to criticism as a work of
art would be.

Interesting, however I was not questioning the asthetics of the garden
as that is a personal thing, for example, I don't "get" Sissinghurst
yet others rave about it.
What I was thinking about was plants in the wrong places, places they
will not thrive in, and worse, places they simply should not be.

We've seen that in more than one famous garden and clearly you have,
too! I think the only answer then is to comment on the 'interesting
position you have that plant in. I thought they liked deep shade?", if
you happen to bump into one of the garden team!
