All around our back garden

It's like The Somme in Winter

The Back Planter: Left The planters were picked up from Ulnes Walton in 2021 and in the first year played host to some wonderful willowy ornamental grasses - probably Carex but don't quote me on that. However, what looked majestic and captivating in Summer fell into insignificance in Autumn and plain old scruffy in Winter, By Spring the grasses had been ripped out and replaced by some plants that I just can't remember!

The Back Planter: Right

The Fence Border: Left

The Raised Bed: Left

The Semi Circle: Left

Firstly, the semi-circle is no longer a semi-circle as in the summer of '23 Chris decided to make things tidier by extending the border to a basic rectangle shape - this is far easier to factor in mowing the lawn.
