Today ’s photos ( and tomorrow ’s ) are from Julie Flatt in Victoria , BC . She says,“Originally just a grassy patch for the kids and dogs to tear around in , this backyard was transformed into a woodland garden four years ago . I had intended to plant just a few of our favourite tree with an underplanting of ferns . However , a bit of very squeamish perennial and shrubs followed me home from the glasshouse !
“ Husband Terry did the heavy study and was very patient when I asked to have things dig up and locomote , sometimes three or five time . We now have muckle of shade on our modest city secret plan , so the neighbour next door has kindly given over a section of her sunny front yard for us to plant our veg . These garden photos were taken last June after an unco parky springtime . ”Gorgeous , Julie !
