Moving

That's such a shame to leave your lovely garden behind, but such a joy to be able to start again from scratch! And bringing some of your favourite plants with you will give to a good start! Looking forward to lots of blogs and pics! Promise?

Leaving your lovely garden behind? Somebody is going to be very lucky moving into your garden; but I love the look of your new house - have fun! Keep us all posted!

I feel your pain regarding leaving most of your garden behind but your new place looks fabulous and such a blank canvas! I'm sure you will do amazing things with it and look forward to seeing your progress.

What a lovely garden you are selling on! I hope the new owners appreciate it. Your new house looks lovely and very interesting - what a joy to have a blank canvas to work on. Enjoy - and I look forward to progress photos. :o)

Wow, a blank canvas, how lovely, and an impressive house too. I know you are sorry to leave your little garden, but my, you are going to so enjoy the next one.

Such a shame to leave such a lovely garden behind, but ohh the joy of that lovely blank canvas. Your new house looks lovely. Looking forward to lots of blogs on the new gardens.

Hope all goes well for you will look forward to seeing your new ideas and garden lets hope your next garden will be worth leaving your old one behind, but if your like me whats gone is gone and look to the new good luck.

Not only a blank cnvas but a much bigger one; you can paint on a much larger scale. Of course, it'll take a much longer time to fill and use a lot more materials, but what artist wouldn't have a zillion plans on how to fill it?

All good wishes for a move that's smooth and light on stress (I won't say free of stress, that's not possible!)

I know how hard it is to leave behind a garden you love but once you've moved you'll only look forward and have a whale of a time making it 'your' garden. Your new house looks lovely and I wish you luck with the move. I live in Berkshire very near the Hampshire border so probably not far from you.

Exciting times ahead then, Dan! ... Will you stay on as Chairman of the Gardening Club? I love the look of the new house ... is that a Wisteria climbing on the wall .......

I'm afraid I wont be staying as chairman of the club, as the move is a good 45 mins away. We have a committe meeting next week when those that dont know will, but news travels fast so they probably do now.
It's a shame leaving a garden and a house you have enjoyed living in but we are only custodions. There are some plants I am taking, mainly ferns and my two tree ferns (will do well in the courtyard) my boxes that I have pretty much grown from cuttings a few different primulas along with some of my more cottage type plants as I am busy creating my new garden in my head before I even get there.

Do I take all my willow cuttings that are already rooting in the water tank? I could make a willow tunnel this time?
I will dig up my to fastigate yews and a few other choice conifers along with a few roses that we want to keep.

I dont think I mentioned that this move is part of a new job. The cottage is part of the position as it is a 3 acre garden that I will be looking after for a day job.
I cant wait....

Sorry it is wisteria that needs a bit of prune, at the moment it is in full leaf, but it will be interesting to see if it flowers next spring.

You'll be missed at the club, Dan, but sometimes you have to move on, literally in your case! ... Good idea to take those plants with you ... I can't help with the willow cuttings query but somebody on here will advise you ... and how wonderful to be looking after a 3 acre garden ... wish you well ... :o)))

Thats wonderful your taking care of a 3 acre garden at least that won't go bankrupt like other jobs not knowing when you ll be given notice good luck for the future.

please take lots of pics of the new garden before you start on it; I love watching plans progress and mature!

I will definately be taking lots of pictures. Thinking long and hard as to how I can do it, as it can be viewed by passes by on one side. I have several ideas as to what I want to achiev and incorporate in the design.
It will take time but I will keep you all informed as to my progress.

oh, and please taka a full gallery of the garden where you are now? for you and for us!

Shame you are having to leave your lovely garden but exciting that you get a chance to create another new one like the idea of a courtyard garden and your new home looks lovely. Keep us all posted with progress and pics:)

Oh the dreams and the plans you are going to have a fantastic time - enjoy yourself. I am sure you will. It looks amazing your new house. The Garden awaits your expertise - oh my you will have such a fun time. ~Good Luck~
