Our garden is very much a ‘work in progress’. We inherited swathes of gravel and hard landscaping from the previous owners of our home and it will take us years to deconstruct what is currently here and slowly craft the garden of our dreams. That’s not to say that I don’t like our garden. Over the last couple of years I have sat and watched how the sun moves across each border and I can easily pick my favourite places to sit, plants and even times of the day. There is a little corner that offers shelter from the sun and a place to hide quietly if the opportunity ever arises and the clematis that provides shade in this little pocket of the garden is starting to bloom - making my favourite part of the garden even more inviting.
I have no idea what type of Clematis it is but it happily weaves its way over a pergola with very little attention from me.
Now I just need some warm sunshine and a moment of peace so I can go and hide in this lovely part of the garden.

I have that same clematis in my garden its only just coming into bloom but yours is so much further ahead then mine what part of the country are you in as it must be so much sunnier than where i am. Lovely pics and love your secret area to relax
We’re in the south of the UK so it is a little warmer *looks out of window onto pouring rain*
Ahhhh clematis! Lovely stuff - I envy my neighbours huge sprawling one something chronic! Looks like a lovely spot to sit and chill out - I think I need to make myself one of those!
thanks for linking up poppet x

I planted a new clematis a couple of weeks ago and it’s fascinating to see how it’s already wrapped itself around the trellis. I love your little hidden corner of the garden.
Lovely pictures, and I love the patio/bistro table. Great place to sit out.

Love Clematis! not had much luck with them over the years though, must try again next year. Gorgeous flowers on yours. I’m still finding bricks deep down in my garden earth!

I love Clematis, so delicate and pretty.

That’s just lovely - we have clematis flowering all over our garden fencing at the moment!

Note to self - must buy Clemitis! We’re in desperate need of some climbers! I’m loving your chill area! Heading over from How does your garden grow

I’ve planted that exact same clematis and it died. I was told by the garden centre those plants never fail to thrive, but we have a horrendous conifer in our neighbour’s garden that simply killed it off!

Your garden sounds a little like mine was when we first moved. Our garden is on a steep slope so the previous owners terraced it; in concrete. It has taken us a while but we are slowly, greening it up and I have a grape vine that we’ve grown over a pergola that provides the same kind of peace as your clematis corner - lovely!

They are a great colour. My garden is very much like this (gravel is patchy amongst the weeds) and I cling onto the prettiness of the bluebells.
