Jane Hollis and her English Country Garden

There was no boundary between the our patio and the neighbours, as this was where there had previously been vehicular access. On one side of the opening was a brick wall, so it was decided to build another matching wall to fill the gap, joining the two with a wrought iron gate which was commissioned from a local blacksmith. The gate makes it easy to visit our friendly neighbours and also adds another dimension to both gardens.

The garden is relatively mild for England, with few severe frosts. The soil is a well-drained sandy loam with a sandstone subsoil, which is good for some tender plants, but tends to dry out in hot weather. More details of the garden, including plans, can be found at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages...
