The ecosystem of my garden has changed, with the construction next door. The shady spots no longer have shade, after the huge spruce trees were cut down. Some areas that are bright now will become shady, as the big house goes up. And so I watch and ponder and wait for inspiration to strike.
It’s become an opportunity to redesign, to fix what wasn’t working, to add, to enhance, to move plants if necessary. It’s like editing a story, except a garden is never finished; each year the editing continues.
