Have been maintaining this large garden for many years. It has been in the Open Garden Scheme a few times and peoples comments are usually about how no one has gardens like this anymore ! Its a very large block and has very wide garden beds and did have until recently two very large trees at the top of the garden. One of them, a liquidamber lost some very large branches a few months ago and unfortunately they crashed into the magnolia next to it. Some drastic pruning has taken place. Underneath was planted with many clivias, these have had to be moved because what was once full shade is now full sun.
The above photo is the liquidamber about half of it was cut off it was a very tall tree.
I have a bit of a thing for Salvias and Sedum at the minute hence below photos.
A really lovely garden and I have only shown you some of the top half. A beautiful day to be outside in a garden like this today, it's one of the joys of my job.
