In the spirit of Chelsea Flower Show

Here are a few photographs of my own little garden in the English countryside.  Very small but I love it and even mowed the lawn this evening in honour of the great Chelsea Flower Show.  I haven't been for about 15 years but this year I have a ticket and cannot wait.

Roses just coming up after their winter prune each side of the back door

Love the green of this Japanese maple

Violas in the hanging basket

Again one of the roses - healthy growth but I hope flowers will be good

Love how aquielegas self seed everywhere
Newly mown lawn....

Looking through the back wooden door

The wisteria is very late this year



Bluebells to the right of the front door


Planted this rosemary last week - it's doing well
Hoping to pick up lots of ideas and more inspiration at the greatest flower show in the world this week.

    I love your cottage and garden. Would you consider doing a post on the interior?
    It oozes charm and looks like it could be in Country Living magazine my fave from the UK.

    If I lived in the UK I'd go to The Chelsea Garden Show too!
    Enjoy yourself!
