Haircut for a Chicken

The other day I decided one of my chickens had quite the unruly hairdo, and it needed a little trimming. A couple of young visitors decided to watch the show.

Planting the Rock Wall

The rock wall before weeding, resoiling and planting.

Wow, that's great landscape...and a lot of weeds.

Zoe and Lilian tackle the project in the pooring rain.

The enthused farmer!

Be on the lookout for more photos of our progress on The View From Wilder Hills blog and the Wilder Hill Gardens facebook page!

Mandala Garden Project

Garden apprentice and WWOOFer,  Julia and Zoe, assess just how to transform this plot of land in to a mandala garden.  Their pallate of plants wait beautifully in our foreground. 

After careful measuring and stake staking, they begin to paint...with plants!

Lilian teaches the symbolism of the mandala in front of her beautiful finished artwork. 

Ta-da!

Weekly photos of the mandala garden will be posted on The View From Wilder Hills blog and the Wilder Hill Garden facebook page.  Keep an eye out!
