Garden Shrubs (Back)

Back to Main Page

The back garden used to slope down, but has now been divided into a front portion which is mostly lawn (with some rose bushes and honeysuckle on the side), and a back portion that’s mostly left to its own devices (although I try to stay on top of self-setters and horsetail seedlings).

Bushes and shrubs cover most of the back fence, and part of both side fences, the fourth side being the back of the house. Starting from the left-hand fence and going clockwise, the following shrubs and trees are encountered :

  • ???????
  • ?Gorse
  • Pyracantha + Forsythia
  • Fuchsia
  • Forsythia
  • Fir tree
  • Rose bush
  • Clematis
  • Honeysuckle

There is also some heather on the divide between the lawn and the wilder part of the garden.
