    Everyones garden looks just gorgeous. My garden is suburban, just a rectangle with other gardens around us but I believe you can turn any size or shape into something beautiful if you have the passion for the garden.

    its surprising how quickly a garden from scratch can mature, my idea is to stuff any space with spring bulbs and perreniels and sit back and wait what happens, time to time the perrniels need to be culled as they become very congested (i must have split loads of yellow loosestrife, cornflower and crocosmia) and replanted them in other parts of the garden or given them to friends

    the mish mash of heavy planting certainly helps to keep the weeds at bay
