Is a crevice garden the same as a rock garden? I've never heard the term. Yours is lovely with the sedum.

Thanks GrannyAnnie, in a crevice garden the slabs are stood on end to created vertical gaps- the crevices.[attachment=1][attachment=2]

I like the idea of a crevice garden. Could you use any old rock, say for instance broken slabs or does it have to be the posh stuff ;D
It looks really lovely Anne

We have Galanthus elwesii Barnes'  form in flower. Our Snowdrop Wood has lots of G. nivalis showing through, but no flowers yet.
Shilton see this album for pictures of a crevice garden made using broken concrete slabs.
