The Perfect Shade of Green

Garden update 2023
The hydrangea are ready to pop—greenhouse is just at the end of the porch.

Good bones are what everyone wants in a house or garden. You can always fix the ugly with a little lipstick, or stone in this instance. I am shocked at the difference this small change has made in my back garden. A trip to the garden center happened shortly after this picture—even though they were closed we had a look around. We have a plan for the whole area including the new greenhouse, shed/playhouse and gravel and stone patio. Shrubs and bushes can be planted at any time up here, so shrubs and bushes are my to-do list. No more half moss, half grass and a plethora of holes and tree stumps to fall over. Have a look around your garden and see where you can add a few plants or structure to fill in the blank spaces—I have quite a few after this winter.
