Third visit to this pleasant mature family garden, surrounded by trees. First was pruning, weeding and assessing what was there. Second visit involved removing, dividing and transplanting existing shrubs and perennials to provide a more cohesive and evenly spaced planting scheme. This third visit involved planting both borders, mulching, more transplanting and finally bagging up raked leaves to make mulch.

Planted in sunny border: Astelia, Lorepetalum chinensis, Prunus cerasifera nigra, Lonicera, and potentilla. Shady border: Rhododendrons Flimmer and Bernstein, Clematis armandii; behind patio wall: Viburnum opulus.
