Emma I have just come a across this thread...great pictures and I am amazed at what you have achieved in such a short time.
I bet you are so pleased with yourself and bunny looks happy as well.
It's worth all the hard work, love the stones...now you can sit back and enjoy.

I hope that bunny doesn't climb. ....
Now we see that you've actually built a rabbit enclosure!
The raised beds look great, Emma! Thanks for answering my query and keep it up!
cheers

Emma, your project looked good in progress and now it is just GREAT!! Well done.... surely that finished effect is well worth the effort.... and think of all the money you've saved by moving all that soil and not having to go to  the gym!! ;D

 What a transformation to the garden.... a thousand times nicer than your original layout -congratulations!  8)

Congratulations from me too, your raised rock garden is at just the perfect height for admiring all the alpines and other plants you have incorporated into a great design.  Looking forward to seeing how it develops, will you plant anything in the walls for you rabbit to nibble?  ;D

Thanks for all your kind comments.

My bunny is very well behaved (or to be more precise - well supervised!), and hasn't jumped up and eaten anything yet. I know from previous experience what she is capable of!

I'm looking forward to buying some autumn flowering alpines from the autumn AGS south show, and am thinking what to plant in the walls.
