Such delicate flowers, yet such reliable performers. 🌸

Our fuchsias put on a wonderful display year after year here at Willows Green. Thank you to Richard Briggs Photography Limited - Marlborough New Zealand for capturing their beauty so perfectly.

Supervisory duties only for me at the moment! 🌿🩼
Dave has been let loose at the bottom of the garden to continue the work reimagining part of the garden while I direct operations from afar.

It may be a little while before my new knee is ready to tackle our hill again, so I’m trusting he doesn’t dig up too much more lawn in my absence… although I suspect I may come back to a few “surprises”! 😄

Last month of autumn. Lots of gorgeous colour from falling leaves to roses still in bloom. A fabulous day today to be outdoors snapping a few photos🌿🌿

A perfect weather weekend this long weekend. That meant Dave got busy building a pergola. This is the last big job of our reimagined area. Thanks Sean and Chris for carrying the timber down the hill (he's finally realized sometimes these jobs need some younger legs!). We had clematis in unwanted positions so they have been transplanted and hopefully will cover the new pergola. We made the decision to keep part of the existing fence, our storm water pipes run down beside it, and in time it will be covered with the plants and hidden. A campanula that I planted last year is finally flowering, I found a Hellebore flowering very early in the woodland, and the fantails got up close. All in all, just great to be out in the sunshine all weekend. 🌿🌿🌿

A wander around the garden today. Still lots of colour, amongst the autumn tones, although im sure tomorrows rain will mean a few casualties. I picked a lot of Dahlias for indoor colour 💐💐

These ladies have come from a local garden which is being reimagined. They have a new home welcoming guests to Willows Green. The patina on the statues is stunning. The larger one was a wee bit of a mission to lift. Big thanks to David Gee for his help with it. We will surround the bases of them with soft ground cover so they look settled in their new home.
