My garden is a tiny city courtyard. It does have beds though, so I'm not confined to containers. The planting is English cottage and woodland in style and the colours soft and cool. It's surrounded by buildings on 3 sides so is quite shady, but luckily the "open" side is south facing so I do get some sun for a few hours a day. The up-side is that it's very sheltered and remains above freezing except in the harshest winters. It's a little oasis of peace and it gives me indescribable pleasure.Sally's garden plan

About me
I've designated myself Keen but Clueless, though I like to think I do know a bit. It's just that having such a tiny garden, I have experience of relatively few plants and there is so very much to know. However, small as it is, it couldn't give me more joy.
