Putting the Garden to Bed

It's Winter in the Garden on November 1st (just like in the Celtic calendar). And we're expected to have our plots ready for Winter.

Some gardeners clear their plots and bag the yard waste for removal.

One gardener lays down burlap sacks to prevent weeds from taking hold during the Winter.

In this plot, the elegant design of the bricks becomes more obvious (though a bit obscured by the fallen leaves).

Down the Garden Path

A view of the garden gate, taken in August of 2007.












The sign on the left welcomes visitors to the garden but also mentions our requests for visitors:




no dogs
and
no smoking
in the garden.












The low path curves gently to the left. To the right you can see the rock retaining wall. On the left, the two raised beds.





















In the background, you can see the front of the toolshed, which is covered with notices for the gardeners. In this view you can see the raised beds more clearly plus a magnificent rosemary in bloom that trails over the retaining wall.
