The garden front and back has been a 25 year project that has evolved and changes periodically as the needs of the occupants change. When we moved we were a young family and the garden was primarily laid to lawn with a cottage garden style border.

Not all of design principles are adhered as we have utilised things that would otherwise have been consigned to landfill. So too many different materials and testing planting combinations that may or may not work.
