Been a bit negligent in taking photographs of the garden, a project I started 3 or 4 years ago, designing and building decking areas, pergola, arches and raised beds. Looking back I wonder how it was achieved with my limited resources, and very proud that it was all my own work.
Liking a casual approach to life, there are plenty of seats and recliners, and a system of trellis fences to break up the area into smaller sections, with a loose theme with regard to garden ornaments, one being the seaside with driftwood, and the like.
Now going to sleep for the Winter, (the garden, not me) it is starting to look a little tattier, so I have only photographed a part of it.
Should really empty the containers for a few bulbs, so will look at them in November.
Further plans for next year, replanting and and making another plant focus area.
Try to keep maintenance to a minimum, just watering and a bit of deadheading, things are reasonably high with the raised beds, so not much bending, which is a blessing.
I feel the garden has an architectural feel, and was planned as part of my recuperation process, and it helped a massive amount.
Loved the whole concept David. You've done a grand job. I know how much gardening is such a therapeutic help for me in my ongoing situation with Mum.
