The creative gardeners are keen plantspeople and have made the very most of the limited space in both front and rear gardens with planting of an exceptional standard. 28 St Ronan’s Avenue is divided into different areas inc a wildflower meadow and pond. Planting is a mixture of traditional and tender plants inc puya, agaves, echeveria, echiums, and tree ferns. Tulips feature in April and alliums in May and June. Recycled items are used to create sculptures. 2 Kenilworth Villas, on Kenilworth Road, showcases bearded irises in May/June. Trees have been planted for privacy and as a wind break. Planting is a mixture of herbaceous perennials, climbers, shrubs, spring bulbs, bananas, and dahlias in late summer.
