Grow a Secret Garden

but I need to think up some shady little spready plants that don’t mind being trodden on.

I have an idea.
In among the euonymus plantings, I will put for the next spring’s blooming, an assortment of small white and pink woodland bulbs: tiny tulipa, white narcissi, convallaria.

Two more plants are ready to go in the Secret Garden. The shrubs are all on deep discount at the garden center.

Last year, the stone wall for the Secret Garden was built on the hottest day of the summer. This July, two variegated euonymus were planted, and last week the branches for the Sanctum Sanctorum erected. Progress!
