Yesterday a friend and I went out to Saint Margaret's to tend to some gardening duties. While Richard tidied up the border around the church I tended to Heather's Garden.
I was pleased to see that many of the perennials including prairie crocuses, salvias, aromatic sage and several others had survived the harsh winter.
After cleaning up I decided to go all out and fill every little bare space with new plants. Planting is such a joyous thing...and having Heather to guide me along was a pleasure.
A special thanks to Richard for helping out. On my own, I would never have been able to accomplish all that we did in one day.
