This is the garden not long after we moved to the house in December. The pots and bird feeders are mine. The conifers were cut back very hard before we moved in, they were over 25 feet high when we viewed the house and cut out a lot of light but what was left was just unattractive stumps. They had to go.
About six weeks ago we started work on the garden. It was a mud bath for a while.
There was a lot of stuff to shift to the dump. Then it was time to repair and paint the fence - the only thing holding it up had been the trees.
Basic planting in (trees and such like) and flower beds dug. Time to start work on the wildlife pond.
Pond completed.
Finally, the main work is done and I have somewhere to sit and watch the garden grow.
Funnily enough, I still haven't sat on the swing seat though!
Now I just need everything to grow and hopefully bring in plenty of wildlife.
