Sleep-Out Garden & Lawn

The Sleep-Out gave me my first chance to grow climbing roses around a house window. I also planted a favourite white camellia (plus hostas and other foliage perennials) in its small garden, and a happy cherry red scrambler rose along the immediate fence-line.

The photograph below of the Sleep-Out and its small garden and lawn was taken in the spring of 1999. The white camellia is in flower up against the dark stained Sleep-Out wall, and purple honesty and spring daffodils fill the border under the fence.

There has been a lot of growth since then (the camellia seems to grow quite slowly), and the garden has been widened - just a little!
