Good days in the summer garden

I get more fond of our garden every year! It is such a diverse and magical place. Every summer it get covered in huge magical ferns and it all is so very green. My garden is huge and turns into a managed woodland, where I’ve made many paths, which I love to decorate with lanterns, bridges and pieces of art. We have various fruit trees and berry bushes, and we have several vegetable patches and an area where we grow strawberries. It is a moist and somewhat shady garden, but you just have to make the best of what you have. I aim to make it as magical as possible.

We got a visit from a french couple, with two dogs, a husky and a samjojed. We had a lovely time!

Love having our own campfire place

Come join me on a stroll through some of my woodland paths in our garden!

I’ve planted wild garlic to cover the forest floor.

So many ferns!

Chives!

Some of the woodpiles I’ve made, it is a lot of work!

Rescued this stunningly gorgeous woodpecker.

The wilder parts of our garden

We made 2 curved wooden bridges, I want to make a post to show you how!

Portal, it lights up in the night.

We’ve made a pond as well, with a LED fountain

Meadowsweet lemonade, sweetened with stevia

Also made fireweed lemonade, it turns reddish pink, so beautiful!

A good raspberry year!

I love days like this.

Raised beds for various veggies. See another post for how we made them.

Our little oak tree!

Fav flowers in the garden, clematis.

Lots of blackberries are growing right next to the garden

One of our neighbours

He’s secretly a unicorn!

I made some oils and tinctures of St John’s Wort

Hope you enjoyed this brief garden tour! 🙂
