Pics from 4th May...

The area around the wildlife pond is a chaotic mess at the moment but I love all the mix of colours! After the clematis has finished blooming I really need to cut it back a bit (along with the ivy) and clear the guttering. The grass paths also need a mow. I'm a very lazy gardener!

Sunlit Saturday....

Photos taken in the garden late afternoon...

My mini woodland!

Last year we bought a gorgeous cabin styled shed from 

The Posh Shed Company. I planted ferns and bluebells and other

woodland plants around it to make it seem like it was in a woodland setting.

The view from the shed is inspired by our favourite holiday

destination, North Wales. I used slate clippings to evoke

slate paths, added a mini waterfall and a little wooden bench.

My garden isn't very big but I've tried to create as many different

themed areas as I could. 

More photos to be added asap!

Camellia Waterhouse

I love camellias and one of my favourites is E G Waterhouse.

All photos taken by me in my garden. 

Petunia Night Sky

I don't buy a lot of annuals but one I definitely do buy every year

is the stunning Petunia Night Sky. No two are alike and all

are gorgeous! 

All photos taken by me in my garden. 

Fritillary

One of my favourite wild flowers at this time of year is Fritillary. I LOVE the chequered pattern, it is so beautifully unique. The white version doesn't have the pattern but it's still beautiful.

All photos were taken by me in my garden.

Tulips!

I thought I'd make a collage of some of the more exotic tulips

I've had in the garden over the past seven years.

All photos were taken by me in my garden.
