Working on a garden takes time, patience and lots of experimentation and even more determination …. But, I get it now…..all those pearls of wisdom from gardeners past and present about understanding the vibrancy of the soil, positioning,
aspect and planning for the future . For now I am loving the juxtaposition of form and free flow from a new garden gate & fence , painted the same color as Owl Hollow Barn and in particular the self seeding Verbena Bonariensis and the wonderful pollinator Echinacea Purpurea …luxuriating in the heat and positioning of the wide herbaceous border . Inspired by my English roots & love of country gardens . Of special note is that these plants do not need to be irrigated, so we are not wasting precious water on plants not accustomed to our East End climate . Much more to come but a snap shot of early July 2021 & a memory of the transformation of these historical gardens, that inspire us endlessly at Morgan & Kydd Studios .
