About 15 Cleveleys Avenue

In 1991 we moved to a 1930s semi. The garden was a patchy long lawn, a shed with a hole in the roof and a skull and crossbones on the front, a Laurel bush and a large Copper Beech tree. There were so many weeds that a Gardeners Question Time expert suggested we move house!! To address the weeds we hardcored the area in question and began acquiring sheds. One for relaxation, one for our ancient garden tools, and one for my husband´s ever growing collection of `stuff´. A patio and a pergola were built and a small water feature. Planting in this area was sparse. We planted a wisteria in the hope it may cover the pergola.
Nearer the house and `lawn´ we added some evergreen bushes and a Rowan grew from a seedling. Work commitments took over and there was no free time for gardening. Therefore the garden in its current layout was conceived 7yrs ago on retirement.
The garden was originally devised to provide planting material for a recently acquired hobby of flower arranging. However the gardener whilst willing to make use of the greenery, is more reluctant to cut the blooms, feeling the need to apologise to the plants in question! We encourage bugs, bees and birds. Various bug hotels, a bug wall, a hedgehog house and a bird feeder plus several bird baths are dotted around the garden.
Future plans include the development of moveable planters at the front of the house specifically to grow cut flowers.
