Sophie & Jenny's raised bed |
Bill's stage is almost finished |
Raised beds are going up all over the garden ready for planting and we're starting to place plants ready for planting in spring. Sophie and Jenny made an amazing bed, complete with trellis backing on Saturday, which will house the wild hop and clematis we found on site when we move in.
The new container entrance |
Stepping stones and raised bed |
It's difficult to do anything on the side of the garden with the missing hoarding but we've started to edge the path and created a raised bed around the Sycamore. Once the hoarding's back up we can finish that section off and build another insect habitat.
We're also starting to plan out the final stepping stone paths at the far end of the garden between the Victorian gate, the quiet zone and the pond, which will be dug in next weekend.
A bit of extra work went on during the week and the container now has a permanent astroturf finish (complete with plastic wildflowers) to welcome everyone - a nice match for the 'grass' at the front of the stage. The March deadline's starting to look a bit more realistic now!
