In my last post I did a tongue-in-cheek inventory of my garden’s features. Today I walked around, camera in hand, to substantiate my claims. Here goes:

– We’re in an old town, so we could be a town garden;

– We have walls all around, so we could be a walled garden;

– We have a balcony covered with creepers so we could be a hanging garden;

– We have an orangery  (yes, really!) with a number of citrus trees and palms  so we could be a mediteranian garden;

– We have a lot of plants in containers so we could be a container garden;

– We have a rooftop with succulents so we could be a rock garden;

– We have a lawn plus border so we could be an english garden;

– We have a beautiful greek urn in its own secret spot so we could be a secret garden;

– We have a number of fruit trees with grass underneath so we could be an orchard;

– We have flowers for cutting so we could be a flower cutting garden;

– We have soft fruit for picking so we could be a fruit garden;

– We have a trampoline and a treehouse so we could be a play garden;

– We have a homemade hot-tub so we could be a spa;

– We have a metasequoia underplanted with laurel and hawthorn and beech, so we could be a woodland garden;

– We have a few Derek Jarman-inspired sculptures so we could be a sculpture garden;

– We have a lot of grass and self-seeded wildflowers on top of a modern replica of an old city wall so we could be a wildflower garden.
