As I type this, I'm waiting for the ravages of Storm Dennis, following Storm Ciara last week - no doubt I will be out in the garden later trying to rescue bins and plants, but for now, I'm looking back at the very few photos I took of other people's gardens back in January.
I'm always really intrigued by this tree - it's like the biggest bay tree you've ever seen! The branches are fabulous and I'm almost sad it's an evergreen so that I can't see the tree's structure without its leaves! It's easily ten feet tall - I will try and get some photos to show the perspective and real size of it- I've actually taken this photo merely by standing underneath it.
In this same garden, the hellebores were about to burst through - sadly I haven't been back to see them as I'm sure they're in full flower now. This plant has made me think I need to research hellebores more - in some gardens I work in, the flowers are above the leaves and I can't work out if that's because they're different varieties, or whether I should be chopping the leaves back to show off the flowers. More homework needed.
This obviously isn't a garden that I work in, but these are the fields next to the house and garden I work in so it sort of counts! It's certainly part of my commute anyway!
