We've been persuaded (Phil at least) to share a few photos of, and thoughts about, the Greenwood garden. We have two large two large (but still baby!) woodland trees (beech and sweet chestnut) and a 3+ metre high beech hedge which is a bit of a constraint in a garden little more than 10 metres square. What was a relatively sunny garden 3 or 4 weeks ago is now in shadow for much of the day.
However the garden is colourful, easy to maintain and is a pleasure to sit in.
Part of the garden in sunshine; the Acer with the white clematis behind (growing through the beech hedge) looking particularly attractive (can anyone tell us what the clematis is?) And the solitary flower of the lupin 'Towering Inferno' looking a bit blousy, and more just about to appear. (Adrienne likes it though!)
The other half of the garden in deep shade.
From shade to sunshine; our woodland section.
The beech tree under-planted with alliums and geraniums, and the pink Weigela peeking out into the sun. We've had this for more than 30 years - it came from Adrienne's parents' garden and this is its 3rd home with us.
General view of the sunny area
Vibrant Iris sibirica outside our new side window - window put in especially so we could see the garden.
Iris and alliums together.
Gladiolus byzantinus, thanks to Peter Daughtrey, and just beginning to emerge.
Best wishes

How lovely to see your garden Adrienne and Phil! What a delightful spot full of colour and interest. It looks so much bigger than I envisaged and you have obviously done a great deal of work to make it so pleasant. Thank you for pics. All the best. Jane
