In contrast, the Sand Garden had “never looked better”, he said.
“All the plants have adapted to the harsher conditions 2025 has thrown at them, surviving only on the meagre rations mother nature has given them, no supplementary watering necessary,” he said.
The garden is based not on soil but a combination of sand and grit.
“We’ve some really interesting plants in here interspersed with tender cactuses,” he said.
“We plant them out in April, it’s a painful job but it gives an amazing desert effect.”
In addition to the Sand Garden, Mr Ogg said they had changed the plants they put in two large pots at the entrance to the gardens.
“We’ve put aloes and aeoniums and created a succulent display that only needs watering every two weeks or so.”
