Over the Garden Wall

 

Our wall is a fence or hedge

The wall is high

Is has climbing flowers growing up it

They are flowering

In front is a low wall

Forming a raised flower bed

 

The hedge is also high

It is also thick

There are small birds nesting in it

A Robin, Blackbirds, and Hedge Sparrows

Gold Finches Have returned for summer

They now live there

 

The hedge is mainly Fuchsia bushes

Also a Flowering Currant and a Mock Orange bush

In front are two Holly bushes and an Ornamental Fir tree

Also a Maple bush  with red leaves

Behind the hedge is Ranch type fence four foot high

The neighbour behind the hedge has a two seater swing

And a Garden shed and a Summer House

 

At the front the hedges are lower

Also formed from Fuchsia bushes

But cut lower

At either side there are small areas with bushes

Sort of small Shrubberies

One has a Holly bush and Lilac tree

The other a small Rhododendron bush

And a Hydrangea bush with blue flowers

Your garden, with all its wonderful shrubs and birds, sounds wonderful. I bet the birdsong is out of this world. You also extended our vision into your neighbours garden and offered us something of what is there. A garden swing is so inviting. I used to have one years ago and loved it. I do have a really nice garden seat now though. You brought lots of colour to me. Some of the shrubs I also have in my garden.

Thank you

Chris

Thank you Christine. Yes the hedge is thick enough to provide homes for the birds > We feed them crumbs - all sorts bread' cheese, Scraps of fish skin cut small > At Christmas time they get Christmas Cake crumbs
The Black birds love bits of fruit

Lovely to sit and watch the birds feeding. Is a joyful thing to do.

small hedge bush sees the light darkness. Over the Garden Wall, we all climb tall.
