Home is in the centre of England, in the county of Warwickshire. We have lived here for over 13 years during which the whole garden has been redesigned according to our preferences and there is still much to do. The garden is medium sized and, of course, not big enough for my plans.

The garden is in a fairly sheltered spot, the picture on the right is taken facing South with the rear of the house behind me. We are roughly equivalent to zone 7/8 but in recent years we have had fairly mild winters and continue to be surprised at what can survive outdoors.
