The garden at Honeywood has been more or less out of bounds for the last couple of months while major and very necessary repairs have been carried out on the roof. This work is now complete, and the scaffolding has come down. We are beginning to see the benefits as the house has withstood several heavy downpours without leaking. However, has also left the garden looking uncared for: the leaves have not been cleared and the repeated passage of the builders has worn a path across the grass. It is also the low point of the year with most of the plants either died back or dormant. The exceptions are two little cyclamens, pictured below, which are in flower.
Above and below: the bed by the Festival Walk wall – which was mostly planted last autumn is now looking good
