Did you recently take some time off your equestrian London Ontario job and made your way down to merry ole' England to take in the sights and the sounds? If so, you probably had no interest whatsoever in coming back home to your piece of Toronto Annex real estate property. We don't blame you really. If we were vacationing in England we wouldn't want to come back either. There is just so much to see and so much to do in England and most vacations usually don't last that long.

So, if you're back home now in Ashbridges Bay and feeling a little blue that you couldn't make it to the Royal Wedding you should try not to be. Why is that? Well, just because you aren't in England doesn't mean you can't bring England home with you. One thing you probably saw and fell in love with while you were in England were the English country gardens.

The plants and the flowers you saw as you walked through the many country gardens found around England can easily be recreated in your own garden in your very own backyard. If you don't exactly remember what they looked like just head on down to any one of your local gardening shops or nurseries near your piece of Leslieville real estate property and tell them you want your garden to look like an English country garden. They should know exactly what you mean.

Once you get all your gardening supplies, the hand garden tools, the seeds, the water can, the soil, the plants, etc., you can start planting your very own English country garden. Your garden will be full of planned color schemes that are very tasteful that has a combination of formal and informal to it that will seem like an authentic English country garden.

Don't forget that if you want to go all out to add a formal carpet bed, ornamental pond, fountain, perennial border that is well stocked, and some pleached limes. If your backyard isn't big and you don't have as much room as say Niagara Falls hotels in Canada do then just scale it down a bit. Work with you have and make your English country garden fit to the space you have. If you only have a tiny space then you might want to consider to plant only a mix of annuals, bulbs, and perennials that are surrounded by either a birdbath or a sundial while adding a couple of small rose trees. It might not be grand but sometimes less truly is more. We're sure that whatever you come up with will be just fine and turn out to be a very nice homage to England.
