Looking at these pictures I am reminded of all the anxiety of getting the place cleaned up.
You can almost smell the fresh paint looking at the pictures.
Preparing for the garden plants which almost took a month before they could survive and thrive.
The supporting poles to hold the fence could not even be put properly in place because the ground was still frozen :)
We opened despite temperatures being well below minus, taking mainly in flowers we knew could handle the cold.
These first flowers were set on trollies so that they easily were taken in and out, and got all wrapped up in the evenings.
Some tender plants even got to come home with us esp. when temperatures dropped under -7 or so.
Salix Kilmanock knew despite the cold, that spring and warmth was on its way.
Easter is so early this year that I will not be opening up before the later part of April.
