- direct sowing and transplanting
2. Cold Frames:

- renovate composting
3. Iris Walk/Serpentine Border
- redefine edges

- reestablish Heuchera border
4. Orchard
- complete the planting
- cultivate the meadow
- renovate box hedge
5. Courtyard, Nursery
- Clear debris
- Effective propagation
- Organize toolshed
6. Lilac walk
- Clear debris
7. Dovecote
- Establish a beautiful, mysterious access path
8. Back lawn

9. Front lawn

Please realize that all of these photos were taken at what is undeniably the least attractive time in the garden, that dormant, debris-strewn period just before spring's eruption of new growth and renewal. I understand that the improvements I hope to show in this space over the next few months will result a great deal from the natural progression of the season. Nonetheless I will try very hard to assist with my own efforts that process of simultaneous restoration and renovation.
