**OUR WINTER FRONT GARDEN**

Is the mixed hedge the shrubs at the front? What a good idea cutting the branches off the bottom so the 'canopy' sits on the wall. Colourful Cyclamen .

HB thank you so much for your comments, we are really pleased with it....
Siris the hedge took up so much space, it consisted of two large Pyracantha, a Berberis (self sown) and a Euonymus, when the plants grow they will hide the bare trunks, also there is a pretty heart shaped ivy clothing the back wall, pleased you like it, was a spur of the moment decision!!

Yes it looks lovely, and so well planned!
What do you plan to do when the shrubs get bigger?

A very attractive frontage - Lots of colours and texture in your various foliage. Will look out for piccies in the Spring! ;o)

Beautiful, a perfect front garden. I imagine passers-by stop to gaze, I certainly would ?

The conifers can look a little sad in the height of summer, and mine have their annual 'drop' in early autumn. But at this time of year they really start to shine. And yes, it looks absolutely lovely. A joy for your winter months.

It's a lovely little garden. You've got so much in there. It's nice to have something that looks good all year round :)

Thanks Hywel, my OH did most of the planning I have to admit......
K we have always grown conifers, love all the different shapes and colours, and at this time they do come into their own, glad you like it...
Stera most of the shrubs are pruned every year to keep them small, when they become too large they are either moved to the back garden, or we replace with a new one, so it is always fresh and never tired....
Petal it looks different again with the roses and the clematis......
Dawn because it is behind a wall with the hedge on the top, it is quite private....thanks for your kind comments...

A perfectly planned little garden and a perfectly planted little garden. It is so pretty.

Thanks Wildrose, makes a change from the back garden.....

what a beautiful little garden. I think it is really pretty and good planting combo's. The squirrels are a pain aren't they. we often bury netting over the bulbs especially tulips.
look forward to seeing it in the spring :o)

It looks delightful Angela , a garden for all seasons but especially well planned for winter colour with the minimum of work ..

Great planting.....must be lovely to see.

Linda it is pleasant to see when we open the front door.....
Amy because the back garden is very labour intensive, the front needs to be fairly easy....
Seaburn glad you like it, being as there are a lot of evergreen plants, it looks tidy most of the year, thank goodness!! wish we could achieve the same effect in the back garden!
Many thanks for all your lovely comments...

You have a nice little garden there! Those Conifers must look awesome covered in snow! The cyclamen are very nice, too!

I love the different shapes and variety of plants you have in your front garden,,Angela..Having a circular small one myself,you have given me some good ideas for mine..It really is a credit to you ,not forgetting your OH :o) Thank you for sharing,and I'm adding it to my Faves,so I have a reminder ....

Balcony thankfully we do not get too much snow...unless we have an unusually bad winter!!
Thanks Sandra, glad to be of help, your front garden always looks beautiful, you dont need any ideas....

It's a very neat little garden.
Such a shame so many people neglect their front gardens.
It's lovely to have colour and interest, particualrly if it can be stained all year like this.

Paul I do agree with you, there are so many neglected gardens in our road, such a shame......of course there are so many older people living here, I hope ours never gets to that stage....

Many people only care about the back garden where they sit.

So true Paul, sadly.....
