March 21st, 2022 - Spring gardening, Tips and inspiration

Do you ever look out at your garden from indoors and wish the views from the windows were nicer, rather than only noticing how it looks when you are out there in the middle of it?

Can you sit indoors and look out onto a good chunk of your garden or can you only see it if you stand at a window?

Through the cold months and the wet days what do you look out at?  If your snowdrops are right down at the end of the garden do you ever see them?

This is the view from the back bedroom window

This month I’m showing photos of the garden taken from the doorways and the windows of the house and maybe you can think about your views right now and how you would like to improve them.

The terracotta parasol dominates the garden and is from Amazon – Hardwood Garden Parasol Umbrella

View from the bathroom

This is what I look out at when I’m cleaning my teeth

View from the loft

The garage and trees are in someone else’s garden.  Our boundary is the ivy fence.  The brick paving is looking lovely as I’ve just scrubbed it and you can read about my futile attempts to keep it looking like this here

Views from the front windows

Sitting in the little boxroom over the front door I can see the front path and the street.  I keep my binoculars to hand should I see anything interesting. (joke)

I can lean out the window and wave as people come down the path.

From the front bedroom I look down onto the main bit of the front garden.  We have an 11 metre front path and garden which is unusual in London and gives us a lot of planting opportunity in the front.

The windows by the front door give me this view

and from the living room window, this view

And lastly when I come down in the morning to find this view at the back door it always lifts my heart and makes me smile.

Breakfast time.

I hope this has made you think about the views of your garden from all your widows.  If you would like my monthly blogs to come as an email, please put your address in the box above.
