    Why for FG Beau's Mum? 

  • Beaus MumBeaus Mum Posts: 3,554

    Because FG says she has some ongoing project areas in her garden after a conversation we had that I thought the whole of her garden was immaculate and perfect image and she hinted she may post before and afters image

    i just adore being out here, even tho we have masses of work to do, the main problem just now is our box blight image

    In a frost pocket 680ft up in South Lanarkshire!!! Thank you for your kind words. There is so much expertise on this forum I was wary of posting!

    Expertise??  Not from me Lily, I'm a relative newbie by comparison, which is why I posted my before and afters for ideas/inspiration.  Your garden looks like a stately home one, it's beautiful image Gorgeous part of the country too image

    The garden was once owned by the Estate and fell into the usual sad story of unloved  land. I sometimes think we were mad to take on the challenge. There is an orchard which has huge drainage problems and cost us a fortune and a wood area which we are still tackling.  The first thing we learnt was never to expect to be finished! 

    I just love flowers so my responsibility is the walled gardenimage
