Lawn 3 is a shady spot. In the height of summer this is one of my favourite parts of the garden to sit and read. Surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, there is a secluded feel and no matter the strength of the sun, the temperature is always cool. The borders offer a mix of mature shrubs with wygela, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and laurel. Underplanting is with Japanese anemones, ferns, hostas and heuchera, geraniums and some flowering perennials in the mix too.
