If you live in one of Westhoughton’s many terraced houses, chances are your back yard isn’t sprawling. It might be a narrow strip, a square of paving, or a patch just big enough for a washing line and a bin or two. But don’t be fooled by the lack of lawn or borders. With a little imagination and the right approach, even the most modest space can be transformed into a green retreat.
