    I'll start. This is mine. Admittidly it was taken last year but I moving in two weeks to a blank canvas and can't wait to get stuck in:dancy: I also want some inspiration for the new garden so show me yours
    My garden is situated at the top of Glenesk in Scotland. It has been the only garden I've been able to grow hymalain blue poppies which i think was due to the alltitude. I'll be sad to leave this garden but it's going into good hands.

          I'm moving to the Cotswolds, used to live there ages ago and due to family bearevment we have deicded to move back down to be closer to my family.

          Gosh How big is new garden? No where near as big as my current one. Current one is a walled garden on a half acre plot and I would say the new one is a quarter of the size.....Approx.
          It's an old site not new build. Has a lot of established bushes. Has a large concrete base which I'm told was a green house. Not sure If I'm going to put one on it that size. Might divide it up. Also has a veg plot, not massive. Also due to my current location I've not yet seen my new house:sad:My husband viewed it and even took a video of the garden for my approval...lol I've got one pic of the new garden but it's more of the house. As soon as I move I'll have pics up as I may need some help. But to give you an idea here is the only pic I have.

                Beautiful gardens Redstar:)

                I just hope I can do my new garden justice. I've never been a great one for planning, my garden just sort of happens, if you see what I mean...lol. I plant what I love to see. I do need to make more of an effort on the winter colour front as my current garden is barren in the winter. That is also not down to choice as for pretty much three months of the year it is under snow. Like this PC310191.JPG

                It looks like you have a nice clean & flat garden to start with in the Cotswolds.
                What an exciting time you're going to have discovering what you have in your new garden. :)

                    I agree with Jenny, you've got a lot of potential in the new garden and dare I say a better climate to garden in?:mute: It's going to be interesting to see how you settle down and start to get time to turn your attention to the garden and ideas for it.:thumbsup::snork:
