Walls and Wagtails: Planting Up a Dry Stone Wall Garden

Join me as I plant up a charming dry stone wall beside a stream, adding pops of colour with native wildflowers. This peaceful garden scene already features ferns and foxgloves, and today I’m adding primroses and planting snowdrops in the green—an ideal way to establish them after flowering but before the foliage fades.

As I work (with a soggy sock and a leaky welly!), you'll also spot a pair of wagtails building a nest near the stream and a cheeky magpie keeping an eye on things. It’s a relaxing moment in a wilder part of the garden—perfect for wildlife lovers and cottage garden fans.
