Sunken Garden

 

Holly bushes on the outside boarder of the Sunken Garden were removed last year at this time.  The Sunken Garden is one of Mr. King's original gardens.  Plans are to plant a non-invasive Privet outside boarder to bring the garden back to its former planting for next year.  Although originally planted in roses, I would think the plan is to continue planting in tulips and annuals. Without the Holly bushes the area seems much more open.

Tulip Time Lapse Project

Mr John Makley sent me an e-mail about a project he had envisioned on taking time lapse pictures of the tulip beds and putting them together for a short film.  He figured eight pictures a day for nine days.  Well, don't have to tell you how fast I signed up for this project!  A schedule was worked out and we marked the tripod spots for each shot.

First shot will be of the Allee

I thought we should add a few additional shots.. so we came up with

And added a view of the Sunken Garden

Well folks, Hide and Watch what is to transpire.  Forecast is eight days of rain, so this should be an interesting endeavor!
