i think its rather nice . perhaps just tidy the plants up a bit or take out the odd plant you dont like .

As I was looking at the pictures, I was thinking EXACTLY the same words as you've just written, NP! It looks charming, a little as if Mother Nature is enjoying herself and getting exuberant. Don't tidy it up too much, TGJ.

I wish my garden was that tidy lol

Many thanks for the lovely comments!! i'm amazed as i look at the gorgeous gardens on here and think " what on earth can i do to mine" will have a rethink now .
Will put some more pictures of the other side of the garden up soon for advice it is covered in carpet at the moment to kill off the weeds ,patchy grass and brambles which we have had a dreadful job digging out!

Is this the same border relating to the earlier question today? Thank you for the photo, if it is. The answers given earlier about pruning really will help to keep it in scale, but it looks very natural as it is.

easier than you thaught . everyone has there own ideas about there gardens but if you like the natural look its lovley.

I do like the natural look but behind the shrub ( on the right) next to the Fatsia are 2 Weigela's that can't be seen unless you go behind them! and it's not very accessible also a shrub is underneath that is sprawling on the ground though it's not supposed to!! this i will certainly have to did out and plant elsewhere in the hope that it grows, i hate throwing plants away!.
The weigela's i'm not sure when to take out..any suggestions? this garden has not been touched in 6 years!.
It has taken 6 months to clear just the leaves and rubbish .
This is what it looked like the 1st week we moved in .( Picture to follow )

The laurel is nobilis ( how do i get pictures on these comments?) the nandina is a dwarf tree , and the plant that has "sprawled" i think is Aucuba

Top picture is the "sprawled" plant completely overshadowed!
2nd picture i need a name for please , again this cannot be seen except to go round the back ...not easy!!
3rd picture is the Nandina

Top pic is Aucuba japonica, probably been buried under rubble or too much overgrown foliage around it.
2nd pic is Laurus nobilis, or Bay, cut it back as much as you like, and the Nandina is the larger version - if you try moving it, you'll likely lose it, at that size. Course, you may decide you don't want it anyway, but all that's growing at the bottom is some hardy Geranium anyway, by the look of it, so that's fine.

So glad to see a picture to go with the name, TGJ! Don't be in too much of a rush to cut things down and hurl things out, and throw things away - there might be hidden treasures in there that you won't find until you've lived with your garden at least a year. I't so easy to get carried away in springtime when the sun's out and everything's growing like mad, but you could be sorry.
I guess it isn't you who have neglected this for the past 6 years, then?

Erm, Gattina, you obviously haven't seen the latest question which includes photos of the garden as it was last autumn when TGJ moved in....

Gattina I'm glad to say that no it wasn't me that neglected the garden, this is how it was when we moved in !.
I fortunately haven't thrown anything away as yet i think i may even have potted some weeds up ! time will tell ha ha .

Bamboo can i dig the aucuba up then as it is covered by another shrub completely, will it be ok?

Should wait till autumn to do it, but if you want to chance it and don't mind if it keels over, then yes. Hard to say what size the roots might be as it hasn't grown properly but really, its hardly anyone's favourite shrub is it, usually shoved in some dark gloomy corner where nothing else will grow.

Sorry, Guys/Goys, haven't really been keeping up with things recently. I didn't think it could have been you, TGJ. Honest.
