    I love this time of year - before the June burst of flowers. So green and lush.

    Lovely, lovely garden Fran! Really beautiful and it draws you in - that's one of the great secrets. You want to go in, wander around and see more - to be there. And as Roders says - "No straight lines"

    Thank you for your kind comments.

    Strongy, I garden on clay - this was the garden when I moved in 17 years ago. Beyond the greenhouse was a 50ft vegetable patch. Which went from wild flower garden, to now woodland garden. Excuse the quality of the picture

    Hornbeam - I think you'd like my woodland garden :D

    Gorgeous, Fran, you've done a beautiful job. So glad to see you got rid of the quintessential whirly-go-round which seemed to be taking pride of place at the patio!

    PS I note you are in Beds ... know Pulloxhill?
