Wow that is lovely - similar size to our garden and you have put such a lot of variety and features in it but still kept it looking 'big' IYSWIM.

I love the pergola - where did you get it? we have been looking for one for the patio area outside the french doors and it looks a good one.

Hi there

The pergola came from Tesco Direct. I bought it with my clubcard points lol. I think it was made by finn forest, they make log cabins and other stuff too. It oringinaly had a deck base but we got rid of it and reused some block paving underneath it instead. I'm not a lover of decking as it just gets too messy.

Yeah, they are grapevines. I'm hoping they will cover the pergola eventually. Not sure if they will actually get grapes though as it's quite cold and wet where I live most of the time.

You should do - we get grapes and we are near Derby....so not that far south. :T:T:T

Thank you - will have a look at direct and have a look for the company to go direct with them.

There's quite a lot going on in this garden - I instinctively liked it and I do now also like it.

I thought your were pulling our legs at first, it looks like it should be on the cover of a magazine. Its beautiful, well done!

I have serious garden envy! What colour did you paint your buildings? I really like the shade and I want something similar to that for my dinky shed.

Yep it is a contorted hazel . Everyone who sees it thinks its dying bcause of the way the leaves curl. I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks in the winter.
