Hen House Garden Images

I often feel sorry for the Hen House Gardens. They're far from the house, and are often the last gardens to be visited, cleaned up, and photographed. But they are beautifully peaceful, foliage-filled with leafy greens. Alas, only ornamental hens live here now.

Hidden away...

Hidden away on the far fence-line, they are very private. Well, 'neglected' might be a better description. Their leaves are the last to be raked up, their shrubs the last to be trimmed. Paths and borders can spent weeks waiting to be cleared.

And photographs? Well, any candid shots often show far too much of the mess for my liking. Shrub roses struggle to bloom here, let alone tempt the camera. Here on this page are my most recent pictures. Please don't take any notice of the weeds...
