Creative crevices

With limited space, the tiniest nooks and crannies are potential planting opportunities. Gaps in paving slabs or setts can accomodate compact and lowgrowing plants such as thyme or creeping jenny ( Lysimachia nummularia). Or you may have bare spots in shady walls where ferns and toadflax can colonise. Even the poor dry soil at the b ase of a wall can become a tiny thriving border when planted with hardy succulents such as sempervivums and crassulas.
