Jacquie's new garden

Last year my daughter, Jacquie, moved houses. She now lives in a joint owned house in a suburb of Basingstoke in Hampshire. She was not allowed to develop her garden until the house had been signed off. It still hasn't but she has been in for more than a year so can do what she wants to do. The garden is simply a stretch of lawn some 12 metres by 6 metres wide. She has a shed given to her and a water butt to save rain-water. The shed is skewed and I will soon straighten it. There follows some photos as she slowly gets her garden into shape. She and Adrian also have an Allotment ~ a shared council garden on that is rented and on which they may grow virtually anything they wish. This was a mess as the previous tenant left a huge pile of rubbish. She wouldn't let me take any pics but now it is cleared so that will also be featured. I am showing what can be done with imagination and some hard work.
