The Garden - Taking Shape

This weekend we've seen the garden take shape - we're hoping the wind doesn't get worse over night as today we planted our new shrubs for the back of the garden - Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' otherwise known as Cherry Laurel.


We began by creating an enclosed flower bed with a 'weedstop control fabric'.  This is to try and avoid the roots of the overgrown ivy from returning.  Then we created a little barrier with a log fence.

Behind this area we blocked the back fences with a Brushwood Screen and then planted four Cherry Laurels.

The other half of the back will be covered mainly by a little shed which is why the plants are to one side.   It's taking time but we're on the right track.
