Our back garden had got to the point that clearing it and starting from (almost) scratch was the only way I was going to achieve what I wanted. When I established this garden about 13 years ago, I had planted out an eclectic cottage style garden. The plan is for a lower maintenance planting scheme that won't require as much input. I garden for others all week, it is often the last thing I want to do on my day off.

So while there is plenty of work ahead, I now have a blank slate to work with. The only thing I have decided on at the moment is the planting of least 3 new trees, with some favorite shrubs to fill in and around them.

I can see where you've been!

My wife is often heard saying;" I married a landscape gardener and I can't get him to do anything at home"...
