THE CENTRE OF THE BACK GARDEN
Come along and see the garden after 3 years work
Open garden on 8th November 2008 click here for more details.
The rear section of the centre part the back garden is the hottest and is now covered with 2 shade sails. One of the sails is almost horizontal and another attached to the back of the first one and shaped down to the fence to cut down the hot autumn and spring sun. As this fence is on the northern side of the garden it stops the low sun that was shining under the original sail. There is a park bench surrounded by rosemary, lavender and thyme, with a lovely view of all the fuchsias. There are 8 large purple ceramic pots containing trailing cultivars, the watering system waters these as well. A temporary piece of shade cloth was erected from the fence for a few weeks until it came down in a storm - luckily before the hot days returned the permanent sails were erected.
