Four years later and the garden is flourishing. The hornbeam hedge, vibrant green in spring and a gorgeous russet in autumn, has grown above the fence line. Clematis and roses climb the fence and through the hedge. In spring tulips and daffodils give a glorious display under the flowering plum. As summer takes over candy-coloured Cosmos abound, keeping the bees and butterflies happy, foxgloves and Gladiolus sway, and Dahlia in myriad colours bask under the sun. As the days cool Centranthus, Ageratum and Salvia bring a welcome pop of colour. In the dead of winter as the mist sweeps in, stunning ruby stems, purple berries and silver foliage provide interest and cheer.
