A tour of the amazing 3/4 acre garden of legendary gardener and quilter 84 year old Googie, my Mum x

A trip to visit Googie and Pops in sunny spring Cumbria - Pops feeling much brighter so Googie and I take a spin around her amazing three quarter acre garden which she has created herself from an empty field over thirty years. She works in her garden every single day with help from her friend Carol on Mondays. And this is what she's created.

With room always for the hedgehogs, wildflowers, orchids and more, she's a ruthless pruner as you'll see, especially with trees taller than they should have been in her lifetime (she says!). There's a vegetable garden, there are glorious flowering rhododendrons, hellebores, masses of spring blossom. I think the pink acer is the variety Brilliantissimum and the pink leafed shrub towards the end is a pieris, of course. Mum and I both have lots of holes in our heads in this clip so if you can help us with any of the plants we can't remember the names of we'd be grateful x
