That sounds to be a great community effort Murmur, it's all pay here. There may be some grants available to some but the govt. has cut back seriously on those.

Next to Phlox Nicky I have a Pittosporum Tom Thumb with wavy leaves which turn a deep red-purple, the new leaves are olive green. It's a dwarf shrub and slow growing, supposedly hardy to -6C (21F) only but mine has taken much more unharmed. I have Clematis Piilu, translated meaning Little Duckling, planted at the back of it and it rambles through the plant, also a slow grower so they keep up with each other. The later flowers are single but I have had both on together.
