Front garden: Spring 2020 overview, in pictures

The front garden, May 2020

 

The front garden has really come a long way since we first moved in. So this is an overview in pictures (I am too exhausted to write much at the moment), particularly as so many plants are now looking so good.

For comparison, this is what the front garden looked like when we moved in.

November 2017

So, going back to earlier this Spring…

The front garden has come a long way since November 2017! Whilst I do all the designing and planting plans, the garden wouldn’t be where it is without the help of my gardener Andrea. Thanks Andrea, we’ve created, I believe, a beautiful space.
