Here are some shots of the clearing as you leave the woodland glade shown earlier.I call this area the acer glade as there are several japanese acers planted beneath the prunus sargentii which provide the Summer shade and it is later a sea of Frit.pyranacea.Enjoy.

Goodness me, John that is lovely. You even have narcissus beginning to extend the colour palette.
How many hundred acres of Leicestershire does your garden cover? ::) ??? 8) :o ;)

Tony,

Lovely Rhodophiala.  Not seen them with veining like that.  Very nice.

Gote,

Beautiful hellebore..... that species is just so delicate in appearance, with a charm all its own.

John,

Stunning!!

Michael,

You must be proud of your Primulas.  All are looking great.

I think that about covers everyone's photos.  Thanks for posting them!!  8)

Maggie,the garden extends to three acres but if I must apologise it was a field with no hedges or trees when I came here in 1965 and I have done it all myself and with help with the maintenance work in the Summer I still do.You make me feel embarassed but thanks for your comments.

John,

If you've done it all yourself then they're a real tribute to your time and effort.  It also says a lot regarding your "eye" for creating things like this..... some people try to make "natural" woodland type setting and it ends up looking dreadfully artificial.  You certainly couldn't say that about yours judging by your pics.... even with the clear division of lawn and gardens it still works beautifully.  I would be so proud to have created something like that.... it's superb!!

What you call your garden looks more like a park, John.
Really beautiful!

Where you planted all these bulbs, is that a lawn too? and when and how do you the mowing.
