My back garden is a nice mix of little areas. I have got a pond, a large greenhouse and quite a lot of flowers. It doesn’t need much work, just weeding occasionally and the rest of the year it looks after itself.

This evergreen clematis is always looking great, never disappoints.

Slightly smaller is the magnolia. It was getting rather large and gangly so I pruned it last year. I thought I was a bit too severe but it looks great and has a great number of buds.

Some smaller bushes are doing well too…

Last but not least are the smaller flowers either in pots or in the ground. Thanks to a rather cooler spring the flowers last a bit longer
