A relaxed, wildlife friendly garden, the opposite of city chic. Evolved through yrs of time-poor management and a yearning for a rural retreat in town. Hence the unplanned assortment of flowers and shrubs, some probably regarded as weeds by fussier gardeners. Frogs love the pond and birds consider the untidy climbers on the high walls their home.

The pond is home to some minnows and an army of frogs. The plant-covered walls are favoured by nesting great and blue tits, sparrows, wrens, robins and blackbirds. The flower beds have been built up over the years using mainly home-made compost and leaf mould, and the bricks holding back the earth and the York stone were reclaimed from skips and from friends. The rust and black spot on the roses demonstrate this is an organic garden.
