20 Stafford Road

Our garden features mature trees and shrubs with many new additions. Upcycled items that the owners find are a feature. We like to put herbaceous perennials in bold colours wherever we can in our borders to enable year-round colour. A large pond has been added for wildlife. Climbing plants on our pergola give height and colour and fruit trees and vegetable patch provide a variety of produce.

About 20 Stafford Road

We have lived here for over 25 years but it’s only in the last 3 – 4 years that we have made a dramatic enhancement to both our front and back gardens.
Our garden is home to many varieties of trees shrubs and plants, some mature and some very young. Our grandchildren love to run through the ‘secret trail’ giving access to the fruit trees planted within a year of our arrival on Stafford Rd, yielding apples and plums.
We have also embraced a little of ‘The Good Life’ with our 3 vegetable patches giving us a reasonable and varied crop each year.
Hanging baskets, pots, chimney pots (and anything I can put a plant in or on) feature heavily amongst our perimeter.
You are more than welcome to come and see for yourself.
