I have used timber decking, trelliswork, slates, raised beds, plant troughs, tubs, a pergola, hanging baskets and small features, solar lighting, added over a couple of years. Now everything has grown, some things are out of proportions, and the paintwork needs a refresh.
In the next few months I will replant, paint, install new features, and get it ready for Summer 2015.
My planting schemes are haphazard, I love geraniums, begonias, grasses, fuchsias, clematis and the like, used to create an interesting mix of colour and form.
A labour of love, really tackled as a rehabilitation project after my prolonged illness, looking at it now I am astonished and proud that it took shape. Loads of wood planks, numerous bags of slate and decking slats were used to complete it, and now I wish I had chronicled the process. Hey ho, can now look to doing it as I add new features and replant.
Below are a few shots I have taken, one during the Summer before last, and some random ones from a week or two ago. No "tidying" done, but the reshaping will allow me to do more clean shots.
