January is snowdrop season at Gasper Cottage. We are also enjoying the flowers on the witch hazel and the hellebores at this time. We use willow in various places in the garden, both for winter colour and for structure. Back in 2005 I created a living willow trellis, which is now wonderfully gnarly.
We have also just launched a website and newsletter for the garden, which is going to enable you to learn more about the choices we make and the work that goes into creating this beautiful space. www.gaspercottage.com
