Hi from Sussex

Hi

I'll try not to ramble and keep the intro short(ish).

My experience of gardening is limited to a few years where I took on a garden that had been unattended for years it was hard work clearing it but easy in the sense I started from scratch, vandals got to my bought plants so it ended up full of freebies from friends and family and would probably be classed as cottage garden. I had to abandon that project due to family commitments but it's in better hands now.

I have just bought a little cottage that has stood empty for over a year, I haven't moved in yet the builders get to it first but I am managing to spend a few hours in the garden. Everyone who passes says how beautiful the previous owner kept the garden :eek: There are lots of shrubs, some I recognise but don't know the names .. yet but they all have one thing in common they are very overgrown, I also have a very large leylandii (the surveyor broke that to me) hedge which I hope I can afford to have removed.

Anyway that's my short :o intro hopefully I can post photos and get some help identifying the shrubs and advice as to how to tidy them up?

 

Hi Chinquest, welcome to GC Sounds like your gonna be buzy

 

Hi Chinquest-there must be story behind that name.

It sounds like you have done very much the same is I did although mine was empty for years and the garden loved it-grass as high as my shoulders!
