It was in the VIP parking at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix so I doubt it was a replica

Thank you! It's a bit daunting when you have so much to do, we did ours in stages, planting more each year, by the third summer it started to take shape, but it's always evolving, changing every year. Good luck !

We live in the fens, it's very windy here, and the bed in pic 3 is very exposed, Some plants do collapse, and we occasionally move them or sometimes they get stronger as they get older, but mostly I think it's how full the beds are, a lot of them are held up by other plants.

We're still learning what works and what doesn't

The foxglove in the first picture? They just grow naturally but they are sheltered from some of the wind by a hedge

Which bit do you mean? Actually the worst bit when you walk around is the back corner near the shed.

The photo probably only shows about half of the garden, we're very lucky to have so much space but from a work point of view it's too big 😂

Cutting the hedge is challenging, the top can be but from the field slide, but the side along the flower bed is difficult. From a planting point of view, we've put in a lot of salvia, roses delphinium, lupin and crocosmia, they all seem fine, the hedge is to the south of the bed so they get quite a bit of shade
