I still owe a few garden photos...
As mentioned before, we are getting an "eco-garden."
After the excavation from both households, which was lying around here, finally got removed in September, nothing happened for a while.
At the end of March, it looked like this
Then I planted the hedge (with the gardeners).
On the outside, there is a lot of hawthorn, then 2 hollies (we'll see if they won't get too dry in the summer), 2 firethorns, a witch hazel, a butterfly bush, 2 copper fruit serviceberries, spireas, a viburnum, a mock orange. Separately at the front, a maple.
At some point, there will be a rose arch with a gate at the end of the path.
The meadow is growing rather slowly; it's simply too cold right now.
In the raised bed, there are herbs and a few flowers; in the bed with the mulch, it will bloom only in blue/white/pink, and on the boundary, a privet hedge will be added this week. Luckily, I was able to convince our neighbors not to want either thuja or laurel cherry or anything that awful. (Actually, it was simple: I would have refused to plant that stuff in our garden. So, there would have been a fence, and they would have had to pay for the hedge themselves.)
If privet is not pruned box-shaped, it also blooms beautifully.
Here’s a lilac; over Easter, vegetables will go into the raised bed, and on the right, near the neighbors, a large bed in orange/yellow/red.
Yes.
At some point, there will also be an apple tree. Once we have found a tasty variety that the child is not allergic to.
And I would also like to have some kind of body of water; let’s see how that works out without a fence with so many children around. Probably not at all.
Let’s see how it develops, but a gardener needs patience.
And we will have the only natural garden here; everyone around has golf-course lawns, gabions, boring monotone beech hedges, and hardly any flower beds.
