Garden diary
Golden Winter
While most changes in the garden happen more or less leisurely over the course of the seasons and blend seamlessly into one another, snow completely transforms the landscape from one moment to the next.
Frosty sparkle
The first frost seems to preserve the last splashes of autumn colour under its sparkling ice crystals.

Autumn leaves
We would love to stop time in autumn, when trees and bushes shine in the most beautiful colours.
The Flower Gardener
Every now and then, the thought flickers in my mind that we could do something more useful with the 90 square meters of our cut flower garden. Is it an unnecessary luxury?
September mowing
With the mowing of our wildflower meadows at the latest, the farewell to summer becomes very clear.
Cut flower bed in morning mist
The mornings when the rising sun pushes aside dense fog with all its might are one of the most beautiful things about autumn for us.
Transformation of the new perennial beds
It is amazing what a few square metres of change can do to the overall appearance of the garden.
The wild front garden
In early summer, the front garden goes through a rather quiet phase for a while. We think that's great, because one floral highlight doesn't have to chase the next.
Creating new structures and flower beds
To break up the large meadow area behind the house and give our seating area a lively setting, new perennial beds are being created here.
