Crevice Garden built in British Columbia for Dr Hans Roemer by Paul Spriggs
From Paul Spriggs (who has just written a book with Kenton J. Seth about Crevice Gardening -which is eagerly awaited).-
"Today we built a small crevice garden for my rock gardening mentor Dr. Hans Roemer. Ive learned so much from him over the past 22 years, its the least I could do..."
"Its hard to tell but the water container filled to the top with water in this picture. it is quite deep.and intended to hold fish. ..... ...i know what youre thinking... 'how is that square form 'natural'?... well I personally would have used a kidney shaped tub, but this was the shape that Hans wanted. I personally have a 'no straight lines' policy in my designs as they rarely occur in nature. the edges will be softened and hidden by planting soon. "

It's great to see Paul do this for Dr Roemer - a man held by many of us in high regard.
More from Paul Spriggs on this garden for Dr Roemer....
"Today we built a small crevice garden for my rock gardening mentor Dr. Hans Roemer. Ive learned so much from him over the past 22 years, its the least I could do..."
Hans Roemer and Reilly Tatrow
Paul asks that this is shared ....
"please do (share) in the name of educating people on how to do it right! 2 basic concepts that are often ignored... height and drama!"

Kenton Seth (USA) and Paul Spriggs(Canada) have written their long-anticipated book on crevice gardening published by the excellent Filbert Press, entitled 'The Crevice Garden - how to make the perfect home for plants from rocky places' and the book is open for pre-ordering - see the link below - for only £23.25.
https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-crevice-garden-how-to-make-the-perfect-home-for-plants-from-rocky-places/9781739903909
Publisher
Filbert Press
Publishing Date
21 April 2022
Hardcover : 224 pages
ISBN-10 : 1739903900
ISBN-13 : 978-1739903909
From the little I have seen of the book so far, I am very excited to get it into my hot little hands!
Many of you will already know of the talents and skills of these two remarkable men - the number of terrific garden builds they have been a part of, both individually and together, is growing all the time, and this book gives some of the clearest information on the subject available anywhere. Kenton and Paul have learned from the best, and are well-equipped to pass on their experience to others in this book.

I cannot remember if I posted this before or not - no matter, it bears repeating - Bobby Ward introduces a super talk by Paul Spriggs :
( There are adverts, but not a real problem!)

Ann & Bob Armstrong of Woodlands Garden are becoming more & more interested in alpines. They have over the winter created a crevice bed outside the conservatory. Photos of the bare crevice bed & with plants positioned ready to be planted(squeezed in place).
