Over a couple of years, I've been removing sapling volunteers and weedy plants from the edge of the woods (would you call that the verge?) around our small lawn. Yesterday I found this had "resurfaced" - some sort of dogwood, not yet identified. That put a smile on my face. ☺️

Embrace a major Chelsea trend by creating a multi-stemmed shrub or tree as a focal point. You often see large shrubs or small trees pruned this way on RHS Chelsea show gardens.

The Actinidia kolomikta is a close relative of the commercial kiwi fruit but purely decorative.
Whether this one was planted in the 1920's I am not sure. It became very tired and had some major surgery but as you can see it has bounced back well.
Hobblebush is now in full flower. The flowers are being enjoyed by two #pollinators.
