Catherine's Garden

[Catherine]

Cibach, I love the idea of your wild garden. I look forward to seeing your spring flowers. Wild gardens are so much more nature friendly.

I have so little space I have to plan carefully. I have to keep things trimmed so they do not over grow each other. Beyond that I let things get a little wild.

The Humane Society garden that I am planting is 60 ft long and 6 ft wide. I have put in flowering shrubs and a few boxwood just to give it some permanence. However I want the spaces in between to be flowers that seed and grow or perennials that spread. In other words, a little wild. I was happy to see bees in the garden last time I was there. I will get pictures soon(unless it snows).

You are right, few things are impossible, but a chain saw has too many possibilities. I wouldn't try to control one.
When I cut down the dead Birch tree, I tied the trunk to a couple of things so when it fell, it went where I wanted it to go and not on top of me. Imagine my relief when it actually fell where I wanted it to go.
Your Hazels must be full sized trees. Can they be trimmed a little so they work better for your needs?
