Snow Season

Enjoying the beauty of a garden in the snow

Today ’s garden photo issue forth from Cheryl Moon .

You featuredmy “ resurrected ” gardens in October 2017 , the first season after rebuild from a fire . Those photos did n’t show any wintertime scenery , nor did they include any photos of the gardens that were not dissemble by the flack , so I mean I could send some along now that do both .

This picture was taken a twelvemonth ago with our first of several snowfall . This is the south side of our home , which is on a southward sloping hill that is mostly limestone outcropping . My husband , Jim , has build paries from rock from the property to retain enough dirt for us to have garden .

This was take the same day , from about the same position but about 120 degrees to the left wing . This hillside was covered with scrub , vine , and weed 10 years ago , when my husband ’s female parent died . But Quaker of ours give us two plants , an everblooming hydrangea and a gold mop cypress , in honor of her passing , and we had no place to institute them . So we empty the brush and started a Nipponese garden . The body structure on the right side of the exposure is an old root cellar that we dressed up with bamboo trim for the doorway .

Here is a metal sculpture by a friend of ours , with a branch ofSambucus nigraBlack Lace ( Black Laceelderberry , Zones 6–8 ) in the foreground . We think Big Bird look quite dapper with his Modern pileus !

Another picture showing how beautiful the parting of genus Sambucus are when they have captured some snow .

We started a gravel garden last yr using a base ball that had wash up on our creek camber . Here is a very early spring picture of a sedum and Mexican haircloth grass(Nassella tenuissima , Zones 7–11 ) clump around that logarithm .

We have a cerise buckeye(Aesculus pavia , Zones 5–9 ) on the hillside between the house and the Japanese garden . Early last bound , we got this photo of the fertile buds on the buckeye looking just like the goldfinches feed from the seed feeder .
