Sustainable living in Leicestershire

Whilst out and about in Leicester earlier, I stumbled upon this piece of fully sustainable living.

This couple redo this garden every year and transform the design. This year they are incorporating climbing plants like Bamboo trees and all-weather hardy plants to create an all year round appearance.

A friend called this design similar to that of restricted outside spaces of properties in cities like London and Birmingham, for example.

This low-maintenance layout is perfect for young professionals working long hours in the week, wishing to unwind and relax at the weekend.

The area at the bottom of the garden is the sunspot, suitable for hosting garden parties, eating alfresco with your family or having a barbecue in the summer.

The owner of this property in East Leicestershire preferred not to be named but it is a perfect example of living sustainable and self-sufficiently through composting and growing fruit, vegetables and herbs.

This is currently a work in progress in preparation for the summer but I will return in the summer to see the end product.
