Garden Pictures (archived page)
This page is about our previous garden in London. I'm keeping these
images on the site for the present as they are illustrative of points that I
make about gardens being, in effect, woodland edge or hedgerow habitat.
Here are some pictures of our garden, all taken in recent years except the first one, which shows the garden in 1989 (with a youthful looking yours truly). The garden is located in a built-up area of South London.
