About me

Hello I'm Janey and have a very old walled garden which came with the cottage we bought 18 months ago. We love it here, the walls of the garden are clothed with ivy, honeysuckle, lots of spring flowering clematis and passionflower. The other side of the garden has a high sandstone wall belonging to the pub next door and I have planted golden hops, a wall
hydrangea and a red Paul's scarlet rose by it.

We had spent the previous 6 years on an old olive farm in Spain renovating the casa and creating a mediterranean garden in over 2 acres of terraced land. It was a great wrench leaving it, especially the old olive trees, but we love a challenge....so here we go again!
