    After reading all your replies i'm now thinking I wasn't dreaming big enough before  :dizzy:


    I'd also love a stream/pond and a kitchen garden.

    I'd also love a secret garden with access to it via a chunky medieval/Tudor wooden door- I saw the perfect door once at a reclamation yard but at the time we lived in a flat and hubby point blank refused to be convinced that a giant medieval door was essential at that time.

    I always regret not just getting it as now I could've just had it propped up in our little garden with some climbing roses either side as a feature  :/ it was about a thousand pounds though so his argument was stronger than mine at the time  :dizzy::smile:

    I'd also LOVE a shed!

    One of these:


    And a stream and a weeping willow.  :)
  • Some of my dream for my wish list garden would be no weeds, enough money to pay a knowledgeable fit young gardener to do the heavy work, one who did not try to impose their ideas of what they think, onto me, a garden full of fragrant plants which provide year round scent and especially, no bugs, pests or diseases. Unless that meant I lost all of the wild life which surrounds me.

    I am part way there with the fragrance, my roses smell wonderful at the moment, also the tracelospermum by the front door. The lilies are lining up to come into flower next. Deliciceous.

    'Fit' in what sense? ;)
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    There are some cryptic clues: 1) No-one under 60 is called Joyce; 2) the hypothetical gardener is referred to by gender-neutral pronouns.

    WE, I didn't think of a stream. I'll swap my pond for one.
    Fast-flowing enough to babble :)
    Why not both? It's a wish list after all. Maybe a nice series of ponds connected by the stream, with one big enough for swimming.

    I'll rehome Joyce's poor bugs and weeds too if she's booting them out to make room for an eye candy gardener.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Josusa, are you suggesting that once past 59, one can't appreciate 'fitness' whatever the gender?
    My lascivious comment was also gender neutral. ;)

    I have a babbling pond pump. Somehow it changes that whole garden. The pond it's in is tiny - it's really the pump that's the star, not the pond.

    A bigger garden, less exposed site are my wishes but they are not realistic.

    Apart from that  I would like 3 large, stylish looking pots of clumping bamboo, fargesia type, for the patio area.

    Im with @Fire, a bit of native woodland would be my ideal. Once I win the lottery I plan to buy the field behind our house and plant it up with native woodland, a lake/pond, complete with stream, summerhouse and meadows. Basically a much bigger version of the garden
