Garden Transformation || Creating A Shade Corner Retreat 🤫🌳🍄😌

Today I am starting on what I’m calling my secret shady corner. It’s a lovely spot in the garden where I have stepping stones leading to my garden illusion gate, which o love as it’s a focal point plus it brings light to this dark corner which gets no sun at all.

For those of you who have been watching my garden progress for a while, you will remember that I have 2 rows of beautiful boxwoods lining the stepping stones, but after battling box tree moths and caterpillars for around 4 years, I unfortunately removed them all as I’d just had enough of putting out pheromone traps and spraying them all the time.

So it’s time now to revamp this area and I’m going to add a seat as it’s one of my favourite views of the garden so I think it would be very lovely to take advantage of that. I just need to clear all the existing plants away, tidy up the area and re-level it, laying the stepping stones back, and adding some more leading to the seat, and then I’m ready for the fun part - the planting!!
