And so to work

With the go ahead from the RHS two things needed immediate attention - lifting and potting up the coppiced hazels, and lifting, potting up and laying the hedge. These are by far the riskiest elements of putting the garden together, and in an ideal world doing this in the autumn, or even a year earlier, would have given the plants more time to get over the shock and ensure they looked their best for the show. However it is now late February and we may need some help from the Green Man.
