We used to open the garden for the National Garden Scheme, but since we lived in Norway from 2007 - 2012, and because I was ill in 2018, it has never been the same, and is not fit for showing. I do work hard in it and love it, but I get tired more often. It's an age thing. ;-)

The plants here are Alliums, Geraniums, Aquilegia, Smyrnium and ferns in the shady area. The roses, clematis and other herbaceous perennials will take up the challenge from June onwards. From winter the snowdrops hold the scene followed by Winter Aconite, then self seeding Crocus tommasinianus, then Narcissus pseudonarcissus. I always try to have something in flower for every day of the year. I'm not into shrubs at all.
