'here at the seas's edge
i have planted my dragon-tooth garden..'
Derek Jarman
we went to visit two gardens with the boys.
a bit tired (or shall i call it by its name - hungover), mellowed by the may sun
we went to sussex and dungeness, quite close to each other, but so different.
in sussex we went to the great dixter garden, very sophisticated.
and dungeness, this weird bit of a coast, is a home to a power station and derek jarman's cottage and garden.
it's a very special garden, grown on a land where it's difficult to imagine anything can actually grow..
it's poetic and ethereal, the lack of any fence makes it disappear into the landscape
