Garden Screens in situ

It has been so long since my last blog post - the last 10 months or so has been a bit of a whirlwind! But I am now catching up on the progress that has been made since April 2020. The garden screens mentioned in my last post are now very much in place and I am thrilled with the results. They were designed to provide privacy from the neighbours and add a 'green wall'. These photos were taken in Winter 2020 (with the Autumn colour still on display) just after the screens were installed. I have planted Star Jasmine which I will train to cover the screens, as well as Ornamental Pear Trees ('Capital' variety, the narrowest of the Pears) to add more green foliage and height.

We had help from a fantastic local fencing contractor to dig the post holes. Our installation of the screens was quite an undertaking, but worked beautifully thanks to Dad's clever use of the trailer to carry the weight of the screens.

Meanwhile, the garden has been bringing so much joy, especially after the lovely rain we've had over Summer.
