Anna said that although the spring is a wonderful time for new growth, dormant bulbs bursting into life, colours, warm sun and hope, the other seasons hold their own treasures. “As blooms and leaves die back there is a sense of the necessity of autumn and winter in order for spring to hold its beauty and hope,” she added.
Anna’s garden, on the edge of Dartmoor, is bordered by a stone wall and is steep in parts, but she said she experiments to find out what works.
