Our Garden

Hi There After removing all the grass, we then began laying flagstones and creating small borders at the sides of the garden. In order to do this I had already cut back some of the overgrown shrubs and trees, whilst doing this I discovered a small concrete pond in the corner hiding behind a very neglected tree. I trimmed the tree to a more normal shape and then decided to build a wooden enclosure around the pond, there were two reasons for this, we could grow plants round the pond, and it would give access to and from the pond for the frogs, of which we had quite a few.


This is how the pond looked after being eclosed in wood, quite bare and uninteresting.

A little more pleasing to the eye perhaps.


The gravel has now been laid and we scattered glass beads and marbles of varying colours and shapes to catch the light and add a bit of sparkle to the garden.


This is a small water feature which I added to the pond as we like the sound of running water.
