My little garden in large changes.

9 years ago

I am finally back to GW:) This year was full of great changes. I start to create my new project - a big Pinetum in the wide area... Lot of my old and hardy conifers was replanted to a new area. There is more continental climate - zone 5... My little garden is located near the sea in zone 6. Now it is developing into a kindergarten:)

My dogs are very smart now and I was able to remove the fences from the beds. So many plants were removed to Pinetum, I was able to replant my babies from the pots. I use a lot of stones - then my dogs understand when is bed border...

These are just temporary plantings. When conifers grow larger, they will be transplanted to the Pinetum. Only less hardy plants will remain in my little garden. And of course some old and big conifers - wich I can't dig out:)

Hope it was not too much, Ireena

Wow, looks amazing! I have a small garden, too (and a long way to go.) What kind of Larix(s) do you have? Thought I spotted two...

Ireena - Thanks for posting your Larix cultivars. I don't have any of those and I am definitely inspired looking at your photos. I will have to do some research and look up information regarding those that you listed. (Which quite honestly will be a nice endeavor for this winter when I'm cooped up and selecting spring plants.) I also read your post regarding your other Pinetum - all of your gardens are wow! Very beautiful thanks for sharing :)

Thought they looked like Sciadopitys, didn't realize it came in different varieties. They're adorable little plants.
