The Project

This South East London garden was laid out in 1985 and in the last few years has been sadly neglected. I want to ‘renovate’ it (can you renovate a garden?) so that it is again a joy rather than a dump about which I feel guilty! As Anne Marie would say, it is time!

    • It will probably be replaced. This one has outgrown its space. I am taking cuttings and as it grows quickly I should be successful. And yes, ceanothus is beautiful and I wouldn’t like to be without it! Have you had a similar project?
