Wow - you give me a huge amount of hope!! I have a similar sized garden also on an estate and started it from scratch last year. Your garden is amazing and I sincerely hope mine looks that good in a few years time
Wondeful photos, and thanks for sharing them with us. We moved into our house just over two years ago, on an estate, and the garden is small like yours. We decided to start from scratch, and had everything removed except for two shrubs! We took out the lawn too - unless your garden is big, there isn't really room for one. Now my garden looks so well established, I really believe it is much better to start from scratch rather than trying to work around what is already there.
Why is it the cat always wants to sit or lay in the plant pots? mine do it all the time, I planted some ornamental grass the other day and they both hopped up in the pot for a nap!
Thank to all the kind coments about my garden. Yes it is good to look back at the before pictures and see what you have acheived. It has been hard work but we enjoy it so much. It is like an extension to the house, we are always out there, pottering about - trouble is just cannot sit still in the garden I can always see something that needs deadheading, a pot needs water etc. Not complaining - I love it.
LL your garden looks perfect. What more can I say! I particularly love the pergolas.
Do you have any more photos of the garden as a whole, perhaps taken from an upstaris window, as this may offer me inspiration for when I do my redesign.

That garden is absolutely gorgeous Lily. I have a bare plot with clay soil and you have given me hope that one day it will be something lovely
