The Garden Through the Year
A family garden gains a clear rhythm of regular visits and seasonal attention.
FIELD NOTES
Grounds maintenance
The brief
The owners wanted a garden that felt looked after without adding every possible task to every visit.
WORKING RHYTHM
Raleigh, North Carolina
The decisions
We divided the work into a regular lawn-and-path routine and a seasonal list for beds, hedges and larger tidy-ups.
GROWING ON
The details
A simple garden record keeps the priorities visible, including the areas left to grow more freely and the moments when extra work is agreed.
