Small north facing garden end of April 2025.

Follow the progress of my small UK north facing garden. The garden of my terraced house is the size of a small yard [not sure if you would call it a tiny garden], sometimes I feel it is tiny but then I think of the real tiny gardens that are miniature gardens in a pot.

When the corten steel fence had been installed last year, I started to feel differently about what plants should go in the bed. I decided to only have green and white plants in that bed. Last year there was a lot of rain and the fence install was delayed so I did not sew a new lawn. I always wanted a pond and I made a quick decision to start a container pond this spring.

Last year a lot of the garden was inaccessible due to the plants standing on the pallet. This made me think that maybe I don’t need to have a lawn as such. So it would be ok to have the container pond somewhere near the middle and I decided I am going to bring the left boarder out to meet the new path.

Plants in the boarder are:

Cornus sericea 'White Gold'
Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea'
Tulip 'Spring Green'
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Pallida' (witch hazel)
Hydrangea paniculata MAGICAL MOONLIGHT 'Kolmagimo
Hellebore Niger ‘Christmas Carol”
Hellebore Niger
Hellebore argutifolius
Muscari 'White Magic
Muscari 'White Pearl
Hyacinth 'Snow Crystal'
Hyacinth 'Carnegie
Hard”s tongue fern (Asplenium scolopendrium)
