This weekend we invited all of our lovely interns back that have worked with us over the past year. We met up on Saturday morning and the weather was just perfect! After a little meet and greet we all headed out to the reflection area to make a dead hedge and plant lots of bulbs. We want it to be a place where you can sit and enjoy the nice view over the reservoir, but also an area that’s good for wildlife. In summer we let the grass grow into a meadow and just mow paths, but now we’ve strimmed it all off and raked it to let it grow back in spring.
After a nice lunch outdoors and a walk around the garden we had a wreath making workshop in the warmth with Christmas music pumping out of the speakers. In the evening we got to enjoy the garden lit up by the full moon and the starry sky, it was absolutely beautiful! A barn owl came to say goodnight as we were sat around the fire pit grilling marshmallows and chatting about gardening.
Thank you to all our fabulous interns for your help this year, it’s been a pleasure getting to know you!
