Front steps with Saxifrage either side.

Very smart.

it is very smart isn't it. My garden is all on one level so doesn't have this aspect of interest.

A stairway thro heaven.

Thank you ladies....oh,my gosh,Siris I hope not literally!!!

I like this area very much. I would love to climb up those easy steps taking in the beautiful gardens at either side and find what’s at the top...

No not literally, haha, rephrase that .... a stairway through paradise.

Your garden looks great Meadowland.

Thank you Lindak and Homebird.....they are fairly old and should have been replaced years ago...such an expensive job....my OH says only the postman uses them....most people come around to the back....Siris that sounds much better,ha ha.

The steps definitely draw you in. What have you fed that saxifrage? It's fab.

Ang,welcome back from hols...it has no attention at all,no feeding.I just think it thrives on neglect.

Isn't that always the way?

Lovely stepped area, Julia. Leads the eye up nicely...effective and pretty planting either side.
