90% of my garden is british natives and has come from these people,
which is really handy as they are just down the road from me.

My soil is not heavy clay, but its not far off, when its wet its very
wet and when its dry its like rock, but most things seem to grow ok.

dogwood, marshmallow, hawthorn, blackthorn, willow, feverfew, honesty - not
sure if all these are native but all are growing happily in and around my
garden (on heavy clay).
