“When we moved here three years ago, there was nothing but some succulents and stones,” says June Hartwell.
Since then she and her husband Hugh have removed the stones and created the Little Ardlui garden.
“It’s a cottage garden with plants I’ve collected over the last few years such as Solomon’s seal, lily of the valley and Queen Anne’s lace. I had to downsize when we moved here but I’ve found a way to grow many plants. There’s also two fruit trees, raspberries and strawberries.”
She has also made room for a vegetable garden out the back.
“We have a vegetable garden off the ground which makes it easier to collect produce. Hugh hung up several plant baskets and looks after the greenhouse.”
