seasonal photos from the garden

Winter sharpens line, accentuates form and intensifies contrast between evergreen and deciduous. Then frost arrives, and if you’re lucky crystal light, to double these effects, which will go fuzzy again when growth kicks off. #winterbeauty #senseofplace #sharp #accentuated #intensified #frosted #soonfuzzy #sussex #weald #line #form #contrast #crystal #special

Last planted ten years ago, these borders either side of the steps needed a complete overhaul. So with advice from @taramacdonalddesign we lifted all plants, deleting many, propagating some favourites, buying in a few, and re-planted with just ten. Aster, calamagrostis, calaminta, deschampsia, gaura, persicaria, sanguisorba, sedum, stachys, veronicastrum. #borders #plants #selection #naturalistic #overhaul #propagation #sussex #weald #newlook

Weeping birch in midwinter. Bare and proud. Walked beneath daily en route from house to study. Rarely seen to such cascading effect from the upper garden #weeping #birch #bare #proud #cascade #midwinter #fourseasons #sussex #weald #overview

You can just see the tree surgeon working on the hornbeam that protects our house from prevailing winds. The tree had become unbalanced and was struggling, maybe from wind scorch. Now it’s been reduced let’s hope it will thrive again and continue to fulfil its vital function. Photo by @havocwills2014 #treesurgery #hornbeam #protection #southwesterly #balance #windscorch
