Unfortunately the images lost alot of quality when converted to Youtube's FLV format, but you can see the photos of the planting plan plus some of the plants at doubleudoubleudoubleu.flickr.c­om/photos/naturewise/sets/7215­7626845933259/with/5836806467/

PS Yes its easy to take cuttings or divide up plants - all of these plants were obtained from cuttings, divisions or grafts, no money was spent on this project at all I don't think!

@quercusrobur2002 Replace 'doubleu' with World Wide Web obviously - why won't youtube allow links in comments???

As for containers, have a look in your local skip, or just use whatever is lying about, from baths to old 12 litre paint tubs to old welly boots! Or try Freecycle?

Good luck!

really cheered me up seeing this. If I could be cheeky though, i wonder if it would be possible to do another video where the viewer can see more clearly the designs on paper? AND also ---as you know plants can be very expensive from garden centres--so what is the best means to get plants. Ie., if there is a way to take cuttings from existing plants that surely is far cheaper. AND final question --if your speace is small and you need containers, where's best place to get cheaper containers?
