The front garden in early May

WOW Annella! Your front garden is a beautiful as the back, love it! :)))))

Thanks Michaella, it's much more fun with the gravel you can get so many more plants in Lol

Really looks great Annella. Lots of interest.

Wow, wow and wow Annella some beautiful plants and lovely pictures. Enjoyed looking at you garden very much!

It's all looking good Annella, you still going to Malvern? Looks like it's Saturday 14th if so:-)

you've done a great job annella ~ it looks beautiful. i like that white clematis particularly

lovely Annella.....

your back is impressive, your front is stunning..

Your garden looks wonderful Annella and SO much more interesting than a lawn. You have some lovely plants, beautifully photographed. My Arenaria Montana used to look like yours but has been going steadily downhill. I love your Phlox and Chives which look so pretty in flower :o))

Your front garden looks wonderful....I too very much like the white Montana....the gravel works well in the front.

As Whistonlass says the gravel looks wonderful, it really helps to set everything off, I bet people stop and have a good look its a real head turner - your gardens lovely.

Your garden's looking tremendous, Annella! really lovely! Your plants are so much more advanced than here, all that colour, you should be proud of yourself! It's just beautiful! :0)

some lovely plants there annella, a job well done. :o)

Beautiful garden annella I love gravel gardens yours is wonderful, full of color. :-)

Oh, Annella! your garden's looking tremendous! So full of colour, your plants are so much more advanced than here, you should be proud, it's just gorgeous!
Sorry pet! I've got over enthusiastic and commented twice! I thought the first one had disappeared!

gardens gawjuss annella .................... like you we have replaced a lot of grass with gravel ...........
your pics are lovely too, i have the plox d.cushion , its such as vivid pink , must take a pic. they spread sooooo much ;0))))

Wow, that looks tremendous doesn't it. Love the way you've managed to achieve some privacy there too. Can't believe that solanum in full bloom already, it's so pretty, what a lovely place to grow one! Fab! My house is also a tale of two climates, but the front has been the cold side (SE facing) until today.....now it's the back again!!

A wonderful choice of plants, and I do so agree about gravel instead of lawn, it all looks perfect as usual.

Looks lovely, a really pretty garden!

It's very nice Ann. Nice to be in the garden over the holiday. And I'm pleased you got rid of the grass. It's so much work to look after. It's all looking very calm and restful with you.

Hi Ann

Your garden is lovely as usual and all looks so established, even your new plants. You must definately have green fingers. Looking forward to our meeting up sometime, then you can show me it in real life.

This area looks lovely...
did you use a weed suppressing membrane under the gravel ?

Yes under most of it TT. I put newspapers around some of the existing plants and ones that I wanted to keep damp like the Arum lily. All the plants seem to thrive now and it looks so much better than the dry ugly clay did before. This part of my garden has only been watered once in eight weeks so that's another bonus with the gravel.

Thanks... successful outcome ..
I'll also add this to WSM :o)

Good tip Annella!

Looks lovely Annella, the plants really stand out against the gravel and they all look so healthy.......
