Family Garden One Year On

The lights on the path have survived football so far

Andrew kindly invited round to his garden to see how it had developed over the past 12 months. There is a family of 6 who use the garden, and all the children enjoy sports so there are a lot of balls flying around.

The meadow grass has been allowed to grow quite long !

Planting by the home office

The garden is used by all the family for their various activities and I am pleased that the planting is beginning to fill the bed space.

The planting plan is informal, naturalistic planting which I think works well in this semi-rural setting.











Andrew runs a company from his home office which was the first thing that he needed in the garden as the children wanted their bedroom back at the house.

The new arrangement is much better for everybody and Andrew enjoys the views.

The decking with sunken light 

The bark path really suits the feel of the garden and is held well by the brick edging.














The lovely view across to the adjoining field is still there.

Shed with grasses alongside

Given how difficult the landscaping was in the awful weather we had last April, it is very pleasing that it turned out so well.
