Garden evolution, Part 1 - a blankish canvas

When we first met our house on 8th June 2014 the whole experience was pretty overwhelming. I'd tried so hard to look at and notice everything but it was virtually impossible to take it all in. 

The garden was something which was high on the list but only in as much as it had to be a decent size. That was it. I didn't care whether it was manicured and pristine or a wild, overgrown jungle. Just as long as it was an outside space then I was happy. So this is what we inherited. A bit run down and lacking in features, as well as this the raised beds pictured above were rotten and falling down so would need to be replaced. Also, you couldn't tell from the house but the pebbled area that can just about be seen in this terrible photo is actually as big as the rest of the garden combined but there is nothing up there aside from one out of control climbing rose. There is actually another patio up there! 

But it didn't stay like that for long.
