@CatDouch I always think that every person who has a garden is so very lucky. You can go outside for five miniutes or five hours! I look back at my gardening life and know what a privilege it has been to work in and enjoy other peoples gardens too.
A landscape gardener can create a lovely garden but without continued change and the addition of the owners personality it becomes a place void of atmosphere. To create your very own garden and let it evolve is very special. Over the years it becomes multi layered and that is what makes it interesting. Gardeners and non gardeners too are able to see the love that has gone into it.
I visited a beautiful garden years ago with my Father. It was an NGS garden and we both loved it.. We arrived back in my garden and he said to me how he loved my small garden too. A Father's love and something I have never forgotten.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
It's gorgeous, where is it? I will bring cakes round to sit in that bench! There's always one!! You know who I mean,poster didn't say parents wanted to make it low maintenance or anything else.
Can I join you @Nanny Beach? That is as beautiful garden,they should be very proud of it. I've cut down on planters this year being of a certain age and having to use a stick. But it comes to us all eventually,so your parents are doing extremely well,and long may it last for them.
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
Once again, thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. I read them out to my parents over the phone and they were really amazed that anyone would take the time to comment. It really made their day 🥰
I'm a bit late to this thread but I would like to have my say too . It's a beautiful garden and looks very well tended. Gorgeous roses. Your parents should be proud of themselves.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
