Stroud Green Garden

 

The planting of this garden has been organic and ongoing for several years, and the microclimate has changed over time as self-seeded trees in neighboring gardens have grown tall, blocking out much of the light. There is something in bloom throughout the year, but the planting peaks in late summer and early autumn, and it continues to look good through autumn into winter.
