A very overlooked part of the garden came under attack this weekend, a part filled with an overgrown holly hedge (loved by our robin), tatty topiary, an appalling lawn and sloping unloved beds. My house is a funny shape, sort of elongated, so we use the garden off the kitchen ALL the time and this... Continue Reading →
