_couple39s-stunning-suburban-garden-in-industrial-heartland-springs-into-life.webp "Stunning pictures show a couple’s spectacular ‘four seasons’ garden bursting with spring colours – hidden in the industrial heartland of the Black Country.<br/><br/>Tony Newton, 74, and wife Marie, 76, have devoted 42 years and more than £15,000 <br/>transforming their ordinary suburban garden into an idyllic oasis.<br/><br/>Their garden in Walsall, West Mids., features more than 3,000 plants and flowers, including 450 azalea, 120 Japanese maples, 15 juniper blue stars.<br/><br/>Locals have nicknamed the stunning garden ‘four seasons’ after the couple deliberately planted different flowers to bloom all year round.<br/><br/>The green-fingered couple spend up to eight hours every day maintaining the quarter-of-an-acre plot which attracts visitors from around the world.<br/><br/>Marie said: “Over the years we’ve had a lot of interest. Someone flew in from New York. <br/><br/>“We’ve had a lot of Chinese tourists. We’ve been all over the world. <br/><br/>“We had a couple of Chinese girls come down from Sheffield on a landscape course. Back in China they’d heard even about us. <br/><br/>“We used to open the garden once a year to the public but we now share it with just family and friends.”<br/><br/>Marie started gardening as a hobby after she retired from her job as a transport planner in 1982.<br/><br/>When Tony retired as a GP a couple of years later, the couple dedicated their time to cultivating their garden paradise.<br/><br/>Marie recalled: “I used to work on the grass and the borders a little here and there.<br/><br/>“I had to stay in ear shot of the landline and we had four children in five years so we were very busy. <br/><br/>“The garden became a feature to keep them entertained. <br/><br/>“We started in 1992 to develop it. We made the garden safe for the kids and attracted the children. <br/><br/>“After ten years they got more sophisticated. Between 1992 and 1995 we landscaped all of it. We did it all ourselves, without any outside help. <br/><br/>“Tony laid the paths and I was quite happy to wield a pickaxe. <br/><br/>“It’s gradually evolved over the years. In 2000 we built a stream and two years later built a second stream.<br/><br/>“We used to use head torches in the dark evenings and do the work in the garden.<br/><br/>“It’s the Black Country and as we always say it’s where the black country turns green. We have no houses behind us. <br/><br/>“We’ve got a variety of evergreens. We created the garden with lots of views, anchor plants. Spring and autumn are the two most vivid. <br/><br/>“They all turn lovely colours. The main trees we’ve got are maples and acers. <br/><br/>“They’re just brilliant colours. In the winter it’s lots and lots of bulbs. We’ve got colour all year round. <br/><br/>“A lot of neighbours ask advice sometimes, we all have larger gardens. We’ve had no formal training. It’s just been trial and error, a lot of error. <br/><br/>“We know what we need now. You have to look at the plants to see which is being the most dominant. Sometimes you have to meditate. <br/><br/>“We’ve been here for 42 years now and we’ve mastered our garden.")
_junk-1999-episode-2.webp "Part 2 of 3 of the teenage drama from 1999. With her new goth look Gemma and Tar embrace their new found freedom away from their respective parents. Now living with eco couple Jerry and Yanny in a squat, Gemma riles Yanny by eating a burger in the place and fearing her a bad influence on Tar she tells Gemma to go back home. But at a party she meets Lily and her boyfriend Rob, who offer her a place to stay and later Tar comes with them to live, lost without Gemma. But Lily and Rob are heroin addicts and soon the teenage lovers spiral into a life of drug addiction. When supplies run out they are stuck between a choice of a life of crime or prostitution...<br/><br/>This is the 2nd part of the acclaimed and somewhat dark children's drama Junk, which was broadcast in January 1999. Making a name for Jemima Rooper and Daniel Newman as the teenage lovers, it also features Lee Ingleby and Susan Penhaligon, who made her name in Bouquet of Barbed Wire in 1976. <br/><br/>(A note: I did upload Episode 3, but it was removed. I have contacted Dailymotion to find out what the infringement was and hopefully I can find out so the video can be re-edited and uploaded again minus it's infringement. Please note that even if I this persists, I will be uploading the series in full on my other channel on OK at the weekend, but hopefully Dailymotion will allow an edited version to be uploaded on here. Fingers crossed for fans who requested this).")
