Many thanks to Kate Hurren Glass for making the finishing touches to my new garden, in the forms of these beautiful glass rabbit, bee and dragonfly panels.
Beautiful on a sunny summers day such as this, but they should also add a bit of colour and interest once the plants go into winter dormancy. 🐝 🌸 🏵🌺🌻🌼🌷🪻

Currently working on this little woodland garden, can you see where I've been?

As it's a deep bed, the plan is to edge, tidy and restock the front of the beds for some colour, uncover the fritillaries and cyclamen in the mid section from the brambles and ivy that are smothering them, and remove self seeded saplings and wood avons. I will also reduce the ivy but leave the back a bit more wild. I even found a clematis, so popped in an obelisk to give it a frame to climb on.

Not all gardens have to be big ones.
This is my little Hens & Chicks or House Leek garden (Sempervivum), using Martin's Nan's leaky birdbath and little bits of tile, stone and oddments found on our walks.

Remembered to take a before and after today 🏅
Truly satisfying to expose this lovely brick path again, and gaps left so some new plants can be added for a splash of colour.

What does a jobbing gardener do during the wettest winter on record ? Well I've kept myself busy with a little job related reading.
(Though with the scrolly font, my last name makes my certificate practically unreadable!) 🤔🧐👩‍🎓
