Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
I was preparing one of my lovely coaching clients earlier in the week for what to expect in the second year of a newly planted garden. In year one, you’re busy thinking about individual plants, and making sure they don’t die. In year two with luck, a fair wind and a modicum of gardening know-how, they really begin to live and to thrive and, as the gaps between reduce in size, suddenly you’re looking less at a collection of individuals and more at assembled community, your attention shifting from the character of each to the effect of one upon another – the steadily reducing space in between as one begins to loll against its neighbour. Suddenly, quite unexpected juxtapositions occur, such as here with the flat seedpods of the purple honesty against the rounded embryonic grapes on the vine, and this is where yet another vein of that garden magic is struck.
