The garden is about three quarters of an acre, with varied conditions and soils. The best is loam, the worst solid clay. Situated on a hill, it is terraced which provides the opportunity to create rooms on different levels. It is not kept 'tidy' because it is a habitat for friendly wildlife, with seed heads and not a few good looking wild flowers, including a rarely seen white form of Herb Robert (geranium robertianum). A weekend bird-count came to 40 species. We collect plants so use soil space to the full. I am retiring from full-time work, which has provided time to get started. Here are pictures of the back and the front.
