Down at the bottom of the garden…

 

 

It’s all been happening over the last couple of weeks! Where? Down at the bottom of our garden!



The area was wild and pretty, yet very overgrown! Dominated by Greater Celandine, something had to be done as although we love wild areas, and in fact we have many, this needed a good tidy up… or better still, a remodelling ! 




We opted for the latter! Gravel was bought and soon laid down by my hard working, other half, and the whole area started to take on a new persona!




Then we visited a lovely nursery to select a few plants … our furthest trip/ jolly in the last 18 months! 





I planted the containers with a variety of lavender plus some Salvia, Euphorbia and Thyme as well as a couple of mini ponds which I’m still in the process of doing. 






Being a bit of a ‘garden features’ lover, I added a few little extras …



 



And then the main feature…the beautiful, solar, water fountain, chosen because we wanted to add the sound of trickling water. The pond has no fountain because water lilies don’t like water to splash on to their leaves, hence our decision to add this to our new area…





So now it was all beginning to take shape…









And I’m pretty pleased right now …just a bit of finishing off to do as we need to buy some more gravel.

Until next time!
