A woodland setting is often a very suitable place for good plant growth, as there is wind protection from the trees and the sun's warmth is concentrated in the humus-rich leaf-mould litter covering the ground. This nutrient-rich layer, replenished each autumn, provides the ideal growing matter for shade plants and helps to retain moisture. You only need to think of the snowdrops, bluebells or primroses that thrive in these conditions in nature to get an idea of what you could achieve in your own garden.

Oh! roses and lilies are fair to see;
But the wild bluebell is the flower for me.
Louisa A. Meredith, The Bluebell
Starred forget-me-nots smile sweetly, Ring, bluebells, ring! Winning eye and heart completely, Sing, robin, sing! All among the reeds and rushes, Where the brook its music hushes, Bright the caloposon blushes,__ Laugh, O murmuring Spring! Sarah Foster Davis

Bluebells in the Woods
Thoughts for This Month
*Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn. Lewis Grizzard
*Take a few minutes today to just sit by yourself and do nothing. If you can get comfortable with yourself, all will benefit.
