Acorn Garden Services - Customer Garden 10 years on

A Wokingham Garden designed and landscaped by Acorn Garden Services is now 10 years old.     The customer was so thrilled with their garden, that after about 3 years they commission a painting of their garden in mid summer.   I revisited  the garden today, and was delighted to see that it is still looking fantastic. You can see the "before" and also the wonderful painting here

The pebble "beach" gradually slopes into the pond. Golden Carex Elata Aurea sings amongst the green foliage

Here is Astrantia Major with Geranium Brookside alongside. At our next visit in 4 weeks time we will cut both of these plants right down to soil level, and within 2-3 weeks both plants will be back looking fresh and reflowering until the autumn.
