The Long Bank

This was an area of the garden which had gone completely native; it was covered in self-seeded sycamore trees, nettles, ivies and ground elder. We have gradually cleared it and planted ferns, several witch hazels, Aquilegia 'Alpina', pulmonaria 'Blue Ensign', Iris sibirica 'Silver Edge', hardy geranium 'Rozanne' and Tellima grandiflora.
