As a gardener, I was thrilled that a combination of plants I had put together a decade earlier still looked great. This happens sometimes when you look through a closet you haven’t sorted lately and find a fabulous “outfit” but it doesn’t often happen in gardens. Plants usually grow tired or die or outgrow their spot.
Perhaps I am a slow learner or maybe I just haven’t taken the time to look around before now. Yesterday I realized anything blooming and thriving in a public space in Qualicum Beach is – by definition- deer proof.
Does this mean it is the end of winter? No – there is plenty more time for that but for Hepatica it is fine even if it snows and freezes for weeks to come.
