Would you believe we’re now going into our third year in our ‘new’ garden? I’m not sure where that time went!
I think in reality it’s taken that time to really understand the space. I have really fallen in love with it – it works for us as a family and I feel like I have some balance in my life, but as we know the garden never really stands still and I enjoy that evolution, just guiding the garden.
Making improvementsThis year there are a couple of views I want to improve. The first being from one of the kitchen windows. At the moment your eye is really drawn to the back gate and, as nice as my new gate is, I want to add to the foreground, something that is strong, so I’m going to add a raised pool at the side of the second set of steps, which will not only provide a real focal point but also somewhere to perch and enjoy for a moment as you move through the garden.

Next up, it’s time to start the real work on the top of the garden. There are two medlar trees that have been let go a little. I don’t want to lose them so first I’m going to lift the canopies, which will not only improve how they look but also create space for under-planting. The whole area needs to have a soft, woodland feel, which will provide a lovely backdrop to the gravel garden.

Wishlist Plants for Foliage
Alright, one last wishlist post from me, your GPOD editor… This time I’m looking past flowers to foliage that I want to add to the garden. Everyone knows that foliage is the heart of a well-designed garden as it lasts so much longer than flowers. BUT I’m very guilty of being seduced by pretty flowers, so I need to really focus on stepping up my foliage game this year.
