THIS week I've been busy getting my garden into shape. There's a small courtyard patio in front of the kitchen that was in need of some attention.
It's a paved area with mainly evergreen planting such as bamboos, fatsia, ferns, and euphorbia. Soon the forsythia will produce a dazzling display of gold-yellow flowers and in summer the ‘Annabelle’ hydrangea will come into flower. However, at this time of year, it was distinctly lacking in colour.
Central to the courtyard, an old Lutyens bench was looking the worse for wear - the blue paint was wearing off and there was even some moss growing on it that had settled in over winter.
It was calling out for some attention so it was time to give it a new lease of life.
