Over the 42 ½ years we have been here, there have been many changes to the garden at Disblair.
In the early 1980s, nine very tall larch trees were removed from the left hand side - much to the relief of our neighbours at the time - and the horseshoe drive was created. The four acers were already well grown.
At the back of the house, the hedge was about 7 feet high, there was a greenhouse, but only grass, which was sloped to the far right hand corner. The pond was made in the early 1990s.
A further large fir tree was removed in 2018, and the stump was carved with the owls you will see beside the summer house. When a beech tree was taken down in 2022, a section of the trunk was carved with the squirrels.
So what you see today has gradually taken shape over many years.
By visiting garden centres and other gardens, those of us with an interest in gardening will always be encouraged to make changes and additions to our own spaces.
