Cristina its unbelievable what you have achieved over the last year. Especially love the planting under and around the trees in the long border, and the pool, and the Rose arch, and all the steps and different levels you`ve created - in fact love it all.
The table looks especially inviting. Not to far away from Cheshire do you do an open day.

That is stunning and quite incredible for a year's work! Have been here 16 years and mine's nowhere near as beautiful. Impossible to choose a favourite bit really, but love all the flowing plants- alchemilla, heuchera, ferns and grasses and tumbling waterfalls of roses. Definitely Heaven. Keep up the amazing work or just put your feet up with your cuppa (in your lovely vintage? china) and enjoy!

Just taken another wander round your Garden Cristina, and it's just stunning...love it all...
