An Amazing garden and in Norway too :shock:

As for UK parks,weve got to remember that our parks dept think parks are just for pensioners that want predictable cheap unimaginative annuals and roses.

These jokers in charge usually arent qualified and only got the job because a friend or family member got it for them. icon_aaargh

Thats true....

I applied for a job in Southampton parks some years ago as I was P...... off with window cleaning.
Then I was told by some one young enough to be my son that I didn't have the qualifications to be a park gardener?
Prehaps they were afraid that I would fill the parks with exotics and in 20 years make it look like that garden in Stavanger?
I told them to poke their jobs up their you know what and take a long trip somewhere else and guess what? I didn't get the job.

Well there are a lot of annuals in that park in Norway as far as I can see on those pictures. To be honest red annual Begonias are not really my cup of tea...
