Putting Wynch Bridge End Cottage Garden to bed for Winter

It has been a long hard job getting the garden of Wynch Bridge End Cottage (formerly Rose Cottage) designed, planned and 'worked', over the past few years - but at last, I think we are seeing the fruits of our labours.  So many people have helped and we have had many hours of hard gardening, good friendship and lots of flowers, fruit, vegetables, bees, butterflies - and inquisitive birds, cows and people!

 

After two excellent days of work, we have cleared, sorted, pruned and dug. Wynch Bridge End Cottage garden has been put to bed for Winter.   Come March next year and we will be ready to start again and welcome the new shoots.

These last two sessions have been so good.  Everyone has been  enthusiastic to complete the task, it's been beautiful to enjoy the Autumn sunshine and interesting to see all the plants that had 'taken over'.  I hope they all bed down now and enjoy the Winter months.

 

Thanks to all who have worked, learnt and enjoyed the garden in 2016.
