I photographed this view of the koi pond, looking west into the woodland garden earlier today. Although the snowdrops are out and the other bulbs are beginning to show, it is still remarkably bare compared to later in the season. This is primarily a spring and fall garden, although this time around I hope to plant a variety of annuals in the sunny border directly in front of the house (see the next post!) The ground surrounding the pond was unavoidably disturbed last year due to the construction work (pergola, paving, and pond) that took place. Now that several months have passed, we hope to see the benefit of all the hard work that went on - especially the effort put into restoring the original planting as much as possible. I am looking forward to watching the seasons unfold, and observing the natural beauty of the woodland as the bare soil gives way to bluebells, daffodils, and tulips. - heralding the arrival of spring.
