My new garden challenge

I love gardens. Sitting in them that is. Enjoying the sunshine and the plants (preferably with a glass of something chilled in hand).

I'm less keen on all the back breaking work that goes into creating one.

But I'm just about to move into a new house and this is my new garden:

It's about 3 times the size of any previous garden I've owned. It's north facing and it's in Manchester.

My aim is to transform it into an urban oasis.

Luckily I love a challenge.

I hope you'll join me on my journey of discovery into garden design and creation.

Maybe even learn how to grow hostas successfully.
