Garth End Cottage Garden Talk
My garden talks are usually illustrated with slides, projected from a computer using a data projector.
To give a flavour of what is included, I have uploaded the slides for this talk as pdf files, though in practice they are Powerpoint files. Any animation used does not work, I have split the talk into five chunks to reduce the waiting time when downloading the files to view, and of course there is no commentary, which I provide in person when giving the talk. Some slides do, however, have explanatory annotation on them. The content of the talk does change fairly regularly (as the garden changes).
Despite these limitations, the files should still provide a reasonable idea of what this talk is about.
Looking up the garden
A dozen recent views of the garden, and two as it was in 1986 and 1987.
Descriptions of the path laying projects, the early days of the vegetable plot, and the start of the development of the rockery.
This starts by continuing the slides about the rockery.
The garage follows, then the drive, re-roofing an outhouse, and finally the bird shed (built from recycled materials.)
A couple of pictures of baskets and wreaths are also included.
The second set of pictures of Christmas wreaths continues from above.
The remaining slides cover the compost area, tools that I use, and water butts for rain collection.
Also some examples of the topiary specimens developed over the years, and garden seats in place around the garden.
These slides cover the building of the gazebo, and the adjacent pond area, and some of our wildlife visitors.
A selection of slides give examples of recycling materials and items.
Some views of ornamental features.
Finally the construction of the woodland area at the top of our garden.
This collection starts with the completion of the woodland area.
It moves on to look at the rebuilding of the porch.
A brief view of the front garden, before more recent developments.
Finally a selection of pictures of the plants we grow.
