I received this lovely gift from @pilgrimagic.bsky.social: Shade - Susanna Grant. It’s easily one of the best guides on shade gardens / planting, featuring photo and balanced text in a small sized book. I’ll be referring back to it time and again, especially for its creative planting combinations. 💚

Happy Anemone found her place in the border ♥️.

I couldn’t resist bringing home this adorable anemone I found at the garden center. She was all alone, so I knew I had to do the right thing and give her a new home. Looking forward to seeing her thrive with a growing plant community 🙏

Happy 1st year anniversary to the garden! ⛅️ Thanks for all your help lovely man ♥️ @pilgrimagic.bsky.social

Composter sorted! Planted bamboo, sweet box, honey bush & Schefflera taiwaniana to soften the edges. Just need to face the gabions & add trellis/wires. Garden’s all set for year 2! 🍀😊

Most of the Schefflera taiwaniana trees in!

Six new Schefflera taiwaniana added to the urban fusion woodland garden! They’ll be fun as shrubs for now, but once they gain some height, we can start clearing the stems to shape them into trees. This is a plant I’ve wanted for a long time as part of the original garden design and plant list!

Got a 1-metre composter from Crocus! It needs leveling, but since it’s a tough arthritis day, I’ll ask the big man to help on a better day. Overall, really pleased—this will be great for future mulch in the woodland fusion garden! 🪴 ♥️

Been breaking down organic matter for compost, and the soil’s come a long way since moving in last year! Fungi are smiling, and I’ve mulched most of the new trees with aged manure—setting them up strong for 2025! 💪 🌿

Potted up a gorgeous hellebore 🥰

Enjoyed some tete a tete in the house. Going to plant them up tomorrow.🪴

Some lovely example's of illustration from the Siolo Thompson’s Winterseer Oracle deck. I appreciate its simplicity and the sense of breathing space, allowing the images to pop.

I made an offering to the birds now that Imbolc has passed, gently taking the dolly apart and scattering it in clumps along the back of the borders. Hopefully, it will help with nest building. 🐦‍⬛ 🪺/|\

It’s so beautiful watching the eucalyptus emerge as the ice melts. I love all the handmade elemental crafts that connect me to the wheel of the year, deepening my relationships with the garden and the wider landscape. 🐦‍⬛ 🌳 /|\
