I've got som before and after shots of gardens that we've had but this is just a bit of benign neglect - our front garden. It is actually supposed to be a
parterre I think - beneath this lot the garden isdivided into five parts separated by stones/slabs, surrounded by privet hedges. There were some very stalky roses and not much else.
So we dug up the roses - tried to dig up the fuchsia (it's immortal) - have so far managed to extirpate the hedge on two sides. I put my collection of
Allium spp in one section (front left); planted one son's herbs in another (front right) then everyone else put whatever they had elsewhere. Put in some bulbs for late winter and ....
Otherwise I try to ignore it although, at this time of year, I need to get in there and clear out the grass, avens and dandelions .... later ...
But it is very attractive to bees and other insects - especially the onions and herbs.
