A Quiet Corner

Behind my pond is a corner of my back garden I seldom visit. It's at least 10' by 12' if you include the hedge of bamboo overlooking the pond. It's a raised area that has had matting and gravel put down but nature has objected to this.

A number of plants have taken hold and between them the space looks crowded. However If I clear most of it away I'd be tempted to erect a shed or something. I need to avoid that temptation.

When it is safe to do so I will prune back some of the shrubs that seemed to have doubled in size this year. Maybe I'll reclaim enough to put a sheltered wooded seat up there.

Maybe I'll fix the broken birdbath at the same time...
