As the sun streams across the lawn on this, St David's Day, it really smells of Spring. And what better way of celebrating the arrival of the new season than by launching our refreshed website
As always with these things, it has taken longer than we thought it would, and there are still parts of the site we need to flesh out with content, but at least it gives a good overview of some of the really exciting projects we are working on and have completed. I just love seeing the transformation that comes with our gardening work. Whether we are just clearing a forgotten part of the garden that has become overgrown and unruly or in those cathedral-like projects where a whole scheme is realised from bare earth, the exhilaration and excitement never palls.
We are just at the brink of a new phase of work in the garden when all the good husbandry of autumn starts to shoot forth. The garden is awakening and with it there is a sense of revelation, renewal and rebirth.
Hi Dorinda
ReplyDeleteI design gardens in NYC :-)
Is that your picture of the Robin? It's stunning!
Our firm recently ordered a lot of pleached hornbeams from Germany. There is SO little in that line in the States. Your trip sounds fascinating.
No regretfully not my picture - but we certainly have robins and snowdrops a plenty at the moment - and the possibility of snow later in the week.
ReplyDeleteThe tree nursery was absolutely stunning - a work of art. The trees that I have fallen in love with again are Cornus mas - they had some stunning mature samples. Also a fabulous 'bush' called Aesculus parviflora which I cannot wait to use. At an avenue of hornbeams, approximately 30' high, pruned into square triangles from their tops to the ground - absolutely fabulous.
Sounds wonderful...we use a lot of Cornus mas on this East Coast.
