The Weeping Cherry

19/6/2016

1 Comment

 
We decided a few months ago that the garden bed at the back of the house outside the lounge and dining room has to be one of the next projects and today we made some more progress.

Over the past few years we've planted a few things there but plants seem to do it tough so we're going to have to work on improving the soil and removing the bigger rocks. But there was also the problem of weed trees - especially the pittosporum - and other innappropriate trees.

Then the other thing was - Karyn wanted a weeping cherry in pride-of-place at the end of that garden bed where it will be seen from both the lounge and kitchen. And so, she got an early birthday present yesterday and today we cleaned out the weed trees and planted the weeping cherry.

So now we wait for the blossum in spring!

Such a lovely read, Chris and Karyn! The image of a weeping cherry blooming just outside your lounge and kitchen is so peaceful—it must be a dream in spring. As someone who provides private chauffeur services in Auckland, I’m always looking for tranquil garden spots to recommend for day escapes. Your space sounds like the kind of hidden gem visitors would adore. Ever considered hosting small garden tours or events? It would pair beautifully with a relaxing countryside drive!
