Do you ever feel a rush of excitement at some kind of revelation that could be the starting point of a new endeavor? Well, that is what I'm feeling this morning after looking at the link for a woodland rose garden. Someone on DG mentioned a few roses for shade once, but honestly, it never even occurred to me to incorporate roses in to the shade conditions of my woodland. I still love the idea of a traditional old fashioned rose garden, but this new idea of also using them in my existing Hillside Shade Garden has my mind a hummin... Thank you so much for sharing that info Mike!
I really enjoyed the photos of the rose garden on your web site too. It makes me wonder why anyone who doesn't like or want gardens would buy a place that has such beautiful gardens with no intention of keeping them. Reminds me of one of my neighbors that bought 10+ acres of woodland and then proceeded to clear cut all of it. Boggles my mind, but to each their own I guess.
So this season the focus was on getting your plants relocated to the new place and the initial gardens established. What will be next? I can tell from the photos of your previous place that this is just the beginning. My husband isn't the gardening enthusiast that I am, in fact he doesn't quite understand the passion, and he always asks me when it will be done. I always respond that it will never be done, that working on it year after year is half the fun LOL.
