45 yards hawthorn and plum, Eversholt, South of England style
This completed the hedge started by Greensand Trust volunteers on a course I tutored in November 2017

13 yards mixed garden hedge, Midland style, Beacons Bottom
Earlier this season I had laid a hedge for this client's neighbour who then decided to have his done too!
