Someone starts this every year so I'll give it a try this year - what
gardening related gift would you wish for if your wildest dream could come
true?

If I won the lottery I would love to design one hell of a
landscaped garden. A sort of cross between between a
fantasy park, The Kew gardens "Princes Diana" glasshouse,
an Eden project dome and a set from the film "Raiders of
the lost Ark". There would be lots of flowers and tropical
plants, lots of nooks and crannies with places to sit and
relax plus a few Barbara Hepworth and other contemporary
type sculptures.

I think that's spent a few million?

I can relate to that, as our transpondian friends say.

But, if I won the lottery, that would require a miracle. Like many
people of my background, I have never bought a ticket, discourage
everyone from buying me one, and intend to continue in that line ....

Nick Maclaren.

I was thinking of a botanical garden, and funds sufficient to provide
operating expenses, but David may have topped me.

A few weeks dry weather so the ground drys out and I can dig the allotment
would be nice.

I have no problem parting with 2 euro's a week for a
ticket. The amount of money is neither here nor there. It
provides a modicum of entertainment for the Mrs when she
checks the numbers on a Saturday morning. We win the
occasional small sum. A big win would be nice though :-)

Wouldn't it just. But on Sacha's theme, something I'd like to do would be to
plant a hedge that flowered from one end to the other through the year. OK,
the depths of winter would be difficult, but the Forsythia will be flowering
in March, and then what? I'd like to be able to look out of the window and
say it must be May(or whatever), the Ceanothus is flowering. Stuff like
that.

What should I plant? Or rather, what should I plan to plant when I win the
lottery and get this garden?

I object to subsidising a swindle. Honest gambling is one thing;
the National Fleecery is another.

Nick, will you for heaven's sake let go and just go mad for a minute or six!
I'm getting over a rotten cold, I'm stuffed to the eyeballs with
Paracetathingies and antibiotics and I want to hear some fun stuff. Tchah.
IF someone else won the Lottery and bought you whatever you wished, what
would you wish?!
