Shrubs under the leylandii

 

Now that the tall leylandii has been trimmed, the bushes underneath look far better. I could not remember that I had planted so many and how they have survived and grown in hardly any soil under the trees. Here they all are. I counted ten.

(Just to say, now the leylandii have been trimmed, the grass cut, and the silver birch is coming into leaf; I could not be more pleased.)
