About
What was a once a one-acre potato field in 1977 is now a four season garden. I have something in flower every day of the year. In late winter the stars are my 500+ named cultivars of the genus Galanthus. Most are in net pots buried at the edges of the flower beds.
In the last five years I have planted my extras with companions such as cyclamen, crocus and hellebores and early daffodils in my ten foot wide hedgerow in an attempt to replicate the Woodland plantings I discovered in the U.K.
This Garden Host reports the following Terrain Notes about the garden: There are no steps in the garden. However, be prepared for some uneven terrain.
