Flower Borders at Bliderud

Garden-borders

The garden borders at Bliderud are under development. Some are created from scratch, while others are redesigned. But then again, I assume garden borders never are completely finished.

The long flower border is a combination of small trees, shrubs and perennials. For variation a few annuals are placed here and there every year.

Last night was dramatic on the farm. An old tractor digger we have borrowed from a friend self ignited and started to burn. I don’t know how it started, but I first noticed the smell, then saw what I first thought was fog. However, the combination made me run to find out what was happening.
