| Additional patio and seating area at the back of the garden, overlooking the pond |
|
| The cascade from the upper, wild filter pond into the main pond |
|
The upper pond is full of plants to filter the water - such as this native aquatic Pickerel Plant, (Pontederia cordata) |
|
There is also a large clump of Arum Lily, (Zantedeschia aethiopica) as well as a sedge or two, (Carex buchananii) |
|
Golden Marjoram (Origanum majorana), and Thrift (Armeria maritima) |
|
A large barbeque is always useful when family and friends come round! |
|
For me, a garden is not complete without a rose or eleven! |
|
The fragrance of a shrub rose and the mock orange (Philadelphus Belle Etoile) fill the summer air! |
|
White features heavily throughout the garden and what better than the Victoria Plum in Spring! |
|
A simple DIY water feature by the patio doors can be heard in the lounge - 'cooling' on a hot day! |
|
The deep orange Avens, (Geum 'Mrs J Bradshaw') used as an accent colour to white flowers |
|
White Lilac, (Syringa Vulgaris) and white Shaster Daisy (Chrysanthemum maximum) |
|
The other side of the Lilac there's Feverfew, (Chrysanthemum parthenium), native Foxgloves, (Digitalis purpurea) with a couple of Escallonias behind, (CF Ball and Apple Blossom) |
|
Wild flowers, (often referred to as Weeds) are not only vital for insects but can make a spectacular display - as these daisies and creeping buttercups are providing! |
