We had the pleasure of working in these beautiful gardens yesterday and today. We spent a lot of time dividing plants that had become overgrown, weeding, and uncovering the beautiful brick edge. I suggested that compost or mulch be added to the beds because competition for soil
nutrients may have depleted the soils. This yard had another example of "forest gardens" that I worked with in
Franconia several weeks ago. What a lovely design!

Hana poses, after a long day of work:
Forest garden, with lily of the valley,
hasta, and
lungwort.
Here, birch logs were used as an edge to the forest garden. Wonderful!
Here, we uncovered a thriving blueberry patch amongst the ferns.
This work took Hana and I 12.5 hours.
