@aikiuser It is but it still needs much doing to it. We are gradually making it more nature friendly planting trees, shrubs and herbs. We now have six fruit trees in our mini-orchard area plus other trees including a couple of Acers and Budlia. The birds certainly like the Cherry tree as they have eaten all the cherries bar one which I managed to get before the magpie had it!
@aikiuser Thanksđź‘Ť I don't think the neighboures are all that happy as immaculately mown lawns and weed-free borders are the norm around here plus a lot of gravel and hard surfaces! We prefer a more natural look so my aim is to break up the large lawn area with trees and other planting which I think is more interesting.
