About me
I started gardening when we moved to this house in 1963. There was no garden to speak of when we came here but it has developed slowly over the years. Mostly we have worked from the house outwards. Originally we had a 2 acre paddock which had originally been orchard. Some of the old apple and pear trees still survive but it has gradually been planted with trees with paths mown through to allow views to the countryside beyond. Over the years my tastes have changed. Plant groupings have become larger but I am still really interested in having the right mix of texture and colour in the borders. More of the garden can be seen at www.bromley-hall.co.uk

Gardening expertise
Very Keen

Biggest gardening frustrations
Deer, rabbits and bindweed!

The gardening project I am currently working on
Replanting areas of the garden where shrubs have died in the mixed borders or where they have grown too large..
