my wildy wildy garden

It is not a neat and tidy border type garden it has a mind of it’s own that occasionally demands that I trim, move, or weed parts of it!
Bluebells in the spinney about to burst into flower
My favourite seat especially when the Rhododendrons are in full bloom
Solomon’s Seal delicate drops in the shade of a Beech tree
Close up of a wild Violet in the grass
A mingling of Dicentra pink and white, Comfrey and Japenese Anemone leaves.
More Violets on the bank, no strimming here then
Clematis micropetala rambling over a pole
Berberis in amongst the sprouting Conifer
Just to show it is not all wild flowers! This red Rhododendron planted in the grass to the front of my favourite seat
Hope you enjoyed a walk on the wild side in Wales!!

What a tranquil place your garden is. It has a natural beauty and you must love to wander in it. It must blend in so well with the countryside.

I enjoyed my walk round your garden very much ~ thanks neellan ~ its so beautifully natural ~ must be a very peaceful and restful place
that blue clematis is really pretty ~ does it like sun or can it grow in shady places?
