Today I thought I would share some photos of my garden.
I am lucky enough to have my garden in an old wood and I try to keep it as natural as possible. There are proper paths and lawns but around the edges I leave as it would have been in the wood. This makes a lovely habitat for all the wildlife in the garden including the dogs who often turn feral whilst they check the boundaries.

If you just go through this little path between the trees you will find the most beautiful area under the trees where the dapples hit the ground. I'm convinced that faeries live there.
The flowers are so abundant on the Pieris Japonica that they almost touch the ground.
Daffodils hide everywhere.
Leading through to the bird feeding area.
I can't for the life of me remember what these flowers are called but they are so beautiful! Maybe someone can enlighten me.
There are so many little paths through the trees there's no knowing where you will end up next.
Into the light.
This used to be my old cat's favourite sunbathing spot.
Can you spot the dog? (Wolfie)
Storm on the lookout.
So that's it. A little glimpse into my garden on a lovely spring day. Already I can see green shoots starting to appear on all the trees. Once it's really in bloom I may do another post on it.
I really love my garden!

Sandra - thank you. It just looked so lovely in the sunlight today that I had to share it.
What you say is so true. I like to try and keep it as natural as possible although I do like to keep the main lawns neat and tidy.
I saw a great article the other day (I think it might have been on G+)about the humble dandelion and how beautiful it actually was although, because everyone sees them as weeds, they miss out on their lovely colours etc. I thought at the time that it was very sad.
It would make the perfect secret garden. There are so many places where no-one would find you.
The dogs love it too. They seem to just blend into the background and disappear.
Loopyloo - thank you. It is lovely to have all the wildlife right outside the door.
A friend of mine has just a tiny paved area outside her back door and I'm amazed at how much she has growing there! She has pots filled with bulbs and roses. Climbing plants growing up wooden stakes and up the wall of her house. She plants things that will encourage butterflies and bees and it looks (and smells)amazing!
