Hi Stickitoffee...welcome to GOY! Your garden looks lovely...:))

Lovely, my sort of garden :-))

i agree...lovely garden

you are very kind, thank you for your lovely comments, what a friendly blog this is! when i can sort out my computer i will put some more photos on.

Welcome to GoY, and what an entrance you`ve made with such a lovely garden, love the changing colours of the beech.

Very attractive, nice to have mature trees in the garden....

yes i love them but they do make the garden shady, it faces east but we dont get the sun cos of the trees and the fact that they are on a hill above us making the trees even taller!
oh yes and now the leaves!

Yes they do have their drawbacks as well.

Your garden is lovely!!!!

thank you aleyna, yes its a pretty garden ~ as you can see its shaded by trees ~ the previous people made it lovely, we have been here 6 years

Lovely garden ... :o)

thank you ~ it has a lovely setting which helps enormously, soil is lovely and easy to dig ~ lots of leaves must help. i think my job is to enhance what is there ~ its a challenge ~ nature is very good all on its own!

Location and nice neighbours have a lot to do with whether gardening is easy or stressful ...

very true

love this pic see wotyou mean bt a woodland feel

thanks cristina. certainly lots of trees ~ always loved trees.

gorgeous garden stickitoffee

thank you! mostly thanks to the previous owners and its location, but we have developed it and added new plants

Such a pretty garden

thank you ~ doesnt look quite so pretty right now!

Neither does mine Stickitoffee, it will soon return with its beauty come spring and summer.

nicely done

thanks skipscanda

Very nice! Beautiful indeed! Love the pinkish leaves on the copper beech and small shrubs (maybe pieris?). I bought a pieris last year and unfortunately it died probably because I didn't water it enough. Shame!

yes several pierris ~ they like it here; also have a couple of camelia and azalea

Wonderful, that's the dream acidic garden!

yes, im lucky with that. not much sun tho

Just having a look through your photos Sticki, your garden looks lovely!

thanks daylily ~ i was just thinking ~ it was nicer last year ~ it doesnt look so tidy this year!!

Delightful garden. Adore copper beeches, very envious, but can see why they might be a mixed blessing.

i love the copper beech its the oaks behind the fence which i love but their leaves seem to be everywhere forever!!
its only a little garden rose, but its enough for me!!
