It’s been a busy couple of weeks in the garden. LOTS of pruning has been going on including work on the sasanqua camellia near the back door…Here it is when arborist Woody Dukes was just under way…
and here’s a photo from 1988…
Woody kept working…
In the meantime garden volunteers Shirlee Sliger and Jay Raney worked on opposite side of the big central pergola….
The two tree peonies are beautiful, though taking a beating in the rain…(I sometimes wish they didn’t bloom so early…)
and though Woody sent me all these nice pruning photos, I really wanted a quick walk through the garden this morning by myself. It was cool, sunny, a little wet…the birds were singing and the tulips were up…I was happy to be there!
You can almost smell these lilacs, yes?
