i planted this shrub eunonymous bravo in the shrubbery at the end of the garden on 23rd november, 2025 flic.kr/p/2rGVE9x it's settled in and showing signs of new growth :)

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...
