Waimea-FallsJuly 2024 at #Gite-Milvain. The golden brown #Seedheads in the #WildLawn, #Starlings after mowing the #Gite lawn, blue #Hydrangea and, naturally, a #Penguin in the #Wisteria.
Artists GardenEven on a grey and dull December's day, the garden looks beautiful. The grasses and dogwoods glow with autumnal or, rather, wintry colour and the seedheads provide texture.
We leave the old growth until next spring. It is so important for the wildlife. Birds and small mammals still find food from the seeds and berries. Insects overwinter in leaves and seedheads. The old growth also provides shelter for other small creatures over the winter.
Besides, if we cut down everything now, the garden would be bare, unsightly and boring for the next several months.
