When we started developing an overall landscape plan for Willow Greens Farm, our intent was to create a five-year schedule with an eye toward first cultivating areas nearest to the house, working each space to completion and then moving on. As time passed we’d tackle utilitarian projects like the barn and spring house, and then eventually have a go at the meadows and distant tree lines. But the lifecycle of a garden seems to work to its own rhythm.
I do love me a fine wall and that is a mighty fine wall indeed! You are blessed to have such good stonemasons in your area. I wonder what the Wood & Sons shard was originally: a Toby jug? a thunder mug?
As always, following along with great interest and pleasure.
It's fun to speculate on the provenance of the Wood & Sons shard isn't it? It's only about 1" in size and flat, like part of a plate. Age unknown, although the company is still in business. I prefer to imagine it being used in Timothy Taylor's time but it's equally possible that one of the 20th century owners accidentally dropped a plate outdoors. Ha.
Oh my gosh ... That looks absolutely amazing ..... And I love boxwood!!
Thanks Carol. Now we just need some plants out there … but that will have to wait until spring!
Wow, it's all coming together beautifully!
Thanks Boaz!
