Front garden, Ringbank Lane In drab mid-March this colourful garden stood out. It holds a large number of ornamental conifers, like the golden Lawson Cypress on the right (probably Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Stewartii'). The inverted tree stump recalls Victorian 'stumperies' that used many such stumps planted with, eg, ferns. The harsh winter of 2010-11 may have killed the multistemmed Cabbage Palm (Cordyline australis).

Leading to Emery's Lane Ivy envelops an ash tree on the left. Ash is a 'preferred' support for ivy because it has a shorter season in leaf than other trees, therefore the ivy gets more light.
