The front garden is mainly large shrubs, with this rhododendron providing most of the colour in June.

A red rhododendron next to main road looked stunning last year, but this year did very little. Hopefully, the rowan tree to the left will have a good crop of berries later.

This clematis is one of two climbing up the front wall of the house. We had planned to add some more trellis for it to grow up, but Mark damaged his wrist recently and so this will have to wait.

Not as showy as last year, this Chinese Dogwood is still pretty, with white bracts instead of flowers. We gave the rhododendron behind it a severe haircut last year, so this year it is sulking without a single flower.
