Rose Mcmonigall shares tips for a Spanish-style garden

Bring a touch of northern Spain to your garden. Rose Mcmonigall shares her tips.

This is an area that inspires garden designer Rose Mcmonigall, whose show garden, “The Pazo’s Secret Garden”, recently wowed visitors to the RHS Hampton Court Palace garden show.
