Today I spent hours edging and weeding new woodland gardens on our landscape. I found some Arisema 'Jack in the Pulpit' that I transplanted and planted some seeds given to me from a friend.
Thus I shall look forward to Spring 2011 to see rewards of my efforts.
I found about a 10ft log in field that has character to accent the new bed. Took some of our aged compost to create a perfect home for new woodland plants to spread.

The walnuts have been put aside for the critters to enjoy!!

Our area has been dry so I watered many of our beds today with long soakings as they prepare for winter and into their dormant stage.

Fall is time for both reflection and planning, and thus enjoy the memories of blooms 2010 while you look forward to Spring of 2011.

I completed a installation last week that was very satisfying to my creative spirit. I designed a two tier retaining wall with steps that allowed homeowners a whole new perspective from their woods to their house. A path that strolled over a small wooden bridge through the wooded area to walk up steps and meander through new gardens. The look of joy on homeowners faces was part of compensation for my hard work.

My body had a considerable physical work-out as I moved 17 ton of rock to create wall on steep slope. I mixed texture and color to create a soothing picture on landscape.

May you also create some beauty on Mother nature's landscape!!
