Garden from the house and my new Acquisition

Brian you are so clever. That looks great, I love it. The other pictures are lovely too, the clematis and delphinium.

Brian you have such a beautiful garden, love your little fishing boy and your clamatis. Also love the colour of your bright orange azalea, really cheerful.

Your garden is AMAZING!

These don't have far to travel as the Heron's fly, not much over half a mile,there they nest in colony's alongside the river Avon high in the trees.
have added a pic taken from my bedroom window

Its always a treat to get a glimpse into your garden Brian, great to see the pics of the heron although I hope he hasn`t dropped in for lunch, they are magnificent birds just not near ones own pond.
I do like your little boy fishing, really smart in his new colours and he looks really comfortable.
Lovely photo`s Brian, thankyou...

Love your fishing boy Brian and didn't realise clems could go into such a small container, they look wonderful like that.
Isn't this weather quite something. When we get a window of sun....must come visit.

your garden is something to be proud of, its beautiful, I love your little boy,

Meadowland
its on 5 levels with steps between, about 50/60 all together
I dug away and back filled to create level areas in some parts many years ago.

Your blogs are always a treat. That was some marathon task you undertook to do all that work but it is so worth while. It all looks wonderful.

Thank you Brian for spiritual refreshment I always have when I see your garden. What a beautiful masterpiece of landscape art.
That fishing boy is sooooooooooooo sweet :)))
Lovely.

A beautifuly thought out garden that seems as if its nestled and blended into the landscape naturally ... thanks to all your hard work and artistry.
Love your little fisherboy he looks so comfortably perched there.

Brian its such a pleasure to stroll around your garden and so love your little boy fishing.

Stroller don't think he would stay perched there if i had not put a screw in his Bum.LOL

All really good , Bjs .

Allium is a very large family runs into hundreds of different ones and range in height3 ft+ down to real dainty ones,amongst the smallest is one called Allium Narcissiflorum this around 4in high and a real beauty,by coincidence i took a photo of it growing in a trough earlier today hence the raindrop,this is from seed although I have another one given me by PCW who also has pics of it on GOY.I have now posted the pic for you to see.

Definitely going to check out those clematis varieties! I think you've started something here Bjs!

Taylors have them larger plants than the ones I bought and more expensive

Magical pictures and I can vouch that going around your garden is like being on the Magical Mystery Tour, lovely surprises round every corner. Love the new addition.
Ps I know you think I am dippy but you don't have to tell everyone that I live in a dip ! Hee hee !

Val love it,always think you are on a high when i see you.By the way Why are the windows always misted up on your garage.!

This is a great blog Brian. I love the Clematis and I think your views are just fabulous.

Your garden looks most interesting, would love to look around it, great view of the heron, bless him!! another great blog.

Your welcome to look around it any time you are this way but dont expect it to look as tidy as yours,last week i thought i was keeping on top of things ,now I have broken branches and leaves from the trees everywhere.Every path needs sweeping.

Wonderful blog, B, your garden is looking simply splendid, and like everyone else, I'm really impressed by those clematis. Fabulous picture of the heron and all those beautiful trees - what a view!

Thanks if ever we are Bristol bound we will keep you up to that, our garden must be a quarter the size of yours, so easier to keep tidy!!

It is amazing your garden.well done you !!!!!

I love your little boy fishing Bjs! :D and what a wonderful place you live in....all that garden to play in! :D

Karen I love it but a lot of work, not sure how many more years I will be able to keep it up together.Will continue to try

You'll need to get an apprentice :)

Thought i might have found one on GOY.lol

You are so lucky to beable to view your garden from upstairs. We live in a Bungalow, and I really do miss seeing the garden from on high. I like the pictures of your 'little boy' fishing - They look so realistic especially the one with the Acers

Petal have lived here so long I tend to take it for granted,none of the trees in the picture with the Heron were there when I bought it all thoughs years ago,it was just open fields before I planted them.
