Early in the garden whilst it's dry.

Fab. I took more than a peek ;o)

you have created a beautiful garden, so many different aspects, must be lovely to sit and have your coffee there!

Me too TT!

Many thanks guys!

Do I remember that gardenia from last year? Its doing brilliantly. Hard to believe there's a hardy variety.

It all looks wonderful! :)

What an interesting garden, ML. You have a lovely mix of shapes and colours, creating what looks to me like a really peaceful, relaxing space. Enjoyed this look around, thankyou.

Lovely photos Julia, I really like the Gardenia and the Bamboo :o))

That was a lovely 'peek', meadow, your garden is lovely.

Really enjoyed the journey around your garden, you have some lovely plants and shrubs, your gardenia is beautiful.

Stunning garden, how lovely to be surrounded by so much beauty.

It is the gardenia from last year Stera.....it is actually 8 years old.This year the wet conditions have been more suited to it surprisingly........Thanks Marion,Jay,GM,Annella Obj and Pixi!Have tried to alter shapes to get a more relaxed lookObj.Only by learning from the mistakes I've made does it suddenly come true.(well,sometimes)LOL

Enjoyed very much... lovely garden :)

Really lovely M!

It's all looking beautiful M.....a credit to all your hard work!!

:)))))) S and sheilar.

Lovely garden Meadowland, I am very interested in your Nandina ours has been moved so many times now and it still looks awful, what do you do to get it looking so good? and how do you grow Gardenias I thought they were really tender? you have a beautiful garden, and I did enjoy looking around.

Hello DD.....thank you for the lovely comment......the gardenia is now 8years old......Its not in a particularly sheltered spot.This year the flowers are even more prolofic and I think this is because we have had a great deal of rain. Previous years the leaves have seemed very dry and brown.They do like a slightly acid and moist soil.
The Nandina has actually been moved twice.It is in an extremely sunny spot but exposed in the winter.haven't given it any special treatment.Hope yours perks up.Where do you have it planted,DD?

We moved it to our woodland area which has slightly acidic soil, is that no good?

As long as it has some sun ,DD.....and no waterlogging in Winter.Shade is ok.Acidic to neutral soil.

I am thinking it might just be a rotten plant, you do sometimes get the odd one, if it does not perk up it will have to go, make way for something more appealing!!

You sound like me...LOL..I'm keeping them crossed for you.

Moved it again yesterday, this is it's very last chance to make something of itself, it is lucky to be given this many chances lol

Been a bit busy so I`m late arriving, lol, you have a lovely garden M`land, I love all the shapes and different shades, I enjoyed my peek, thankyou...

No worries,LC,today is a different scene,sadly.

lovely garden julia , enjoyed the tour ;o)

Meadowland, if ever you are in West Wales perhaps you would like to call round and redsign my garden?

Wow,that's a tall order,Stera!!LOL.....if ever I'm in W Wales I might call to see you.If you are ever near Chepstow would love to see you.
