Wisley Light Magic

Not much has been happening in the garden in the last month. While our snow covering only lasted for a couple of weeks, it's been too cold to attempt any jobs other then the most basic tidy up of slimy frosted perennials.



The Ligularia was particularly badly affected by the snow. In a mild winter it will hold on to some of it's leaves until spring, but after the first snow they were flopping on the ground in a slimy mess, so they had to go, cold and all.

In the quiet period after new year we visited the RHS garden at Wisley. The garden was open until 6:00pm, featuring some great light installations illustrating this post.



Some interesting ideas for the garden perhaps .....



Meanwhile hoping for a milder February.
