My Garden

Welcome to my garden blog; we have lived in this house for 32 years and the garden was virtually bare when we moved in. I think we had 2 Queen Elizabeth roses and some Rhubarb!
The small front garden however had 9 huge clumps of orange Mombresia around the lawn's edge.
We garden on heavy clay which is challenging but over the years we've worked out what works and what doesn't.
The garden has been a playground for our three children over the years and we are not precious about it but we do know what we like.
I hope you enjoy following it through the year.

Witch Hazel ~ Diane ~ Red Flowers

Chimonanthus about 7 years old and flowering well now.
The perfume is wonderful
Bought at Hillier's in Romsey after a visit to their winter garden

Snowdrops ~ my personal favourite


Daphne ~
This was flattened by the snow but has come up smelling of.... well Daphne!
The perfume wafts down the length of the garden
