Welcome to Chris' garden...

The front 'garden' is paved apart from this border which...

very much sets the tone for the rear garden
with its arrangement of planting, rocks and shale.

Please step through the kitchen to the back garden...

The view from the kitchen door shows that this tiny garden is absolutely packed with interest...

Around the outside there are...


Cotoneaster Silver Birch, Ceanothys, Pyracanthus	Avalana Contorta (twisted hazel) Half Standard Willow, Pyracanthus	Azalia, Quince, Holly, Mock Holly Acer Palmatum

In the centre there are...

Weeping Pussy Willow	Hanging Basket...	Hebe and various pieces of slate or rock
This one came home with him from a walk		This one is known as 'the chicken'

Also in the centre is this island ~ which is how it all began!

Chris became bored with the crazy paving that the previous owner left and so he lifted a few slabs and planted this bed. Sounds easy doesn't it? It wasn't! Over time (4 years) he has lifted another and another until he was happy with the result. From time to time he bought potted plants; the Acer, a half standard Rose, the half standard Willow and the Hebe but always finished up by planting them out so that they didn't suffer if he forgot to water them.
