Our Spring Project Is Starting

Grasses and Dogwoods
Heatherwood, South Bed

Yesterday we started our spring cleanup. Our first task will be to cut back the grasses and dogwood shrubs. It is a big chore over the 4 acres of Heatherwood.

Our major spring project will be to connect our southeast and southwest conifer corner beds. This will entail removing the grasses and dogwood shrubs shown in the image above. We are looking for new homes in our garden and around the neighborhood for these plants. Once the area is cleared we will develop a path through the area that will connect our two conifer corner beds. After it is laid out, we will select specimen conifers and Japanese maples to fill in the planting area.

Our garden will never be complete. Areas become overgrown, new ideas emerge, interests change. Every day as we enjoy our existing garden, future dreams form.
