My garden is walled and completely private as we are not overlooked. It is lovely and quiet as we are beside a churchyard.
We have a good sized oval lawn with natural stone paving all around. We have chairs in one corner with a birdbath and loads of tall shrubs. In the other corner we have table and four chairs and more pots of large plants. In the third corner we have my beloved summerhouse which is a soft green colour.
There is no fourth corner as the garden then goes off behind the house where we have a large bike shed, son's DIY shed and a potting shed. We also have a store for sun loungers, cushions etc. And we keep the garden bin round there. Hubby got as far as putting up lovely fencing to screen these sheds from the main garden, all he has to do now is put up a gate and its completely done.
My garden is easy to maintain as I have packed the raised borders now so hardly any weeding. I have a large silver birch, buddlea, hollyhocks, peace lilies, foxgloves, ceanothus, flowering currant and too many shrubs to name. We have cotoneaster, honeysuckle and climbing roses up the garden walls. i have passionflowers and honeysuckle growing up trellis either side of the patio doors. the doors are about 12 wide and can be slid opened either side. I have a rocking seat just outside there. the garden faces south west and we get the sun all day until it goes down in the evening. i nearly forgot .... I have countless pots with geraniums, white daisies, strawberries, a twisted bay tree and masses of herbs. On the front of the house we have two 13ft window boxes under either window full of marigolds and pansies. they look lovely at the moment. That's my garden! I am no expert but I love colour and pottering about out there. In Spring the garden is full of snowdrops, daffs, crocus and so on. Most of our pets ..... two dogs, a cat, countless goldfish, terrapins, mice etc are buried in the garden.
