This is the house and garden as they were in early April 2022- shortly after we moved in.

And here is what you see if you try to take a picture from roughly the same spot in late April 2025.

The gorse which was one of our first plantings has filled its niche just as intended.

Move to the left a bit and you see we do still have a lawn, but it has been encroached upon.

I don't hate grass but I don't want it to be anything more than punctation between the shrubs and trees. Who really needs large green spaces unless a game of tennis or croquet is envisaged?

Such an improvement.

We have no grass in our garden.
