After 22 years of living and gardening in the same place my wife and I have decided to move. We are relocating less than an hour away to live near our grandson. Moving the contents of a house is hard enough but add the possesions of a passonate gardener and life gets complicated. Garden tools, pots, and other things are being stored at different places till Spring. I potted up some plant material before the house was sold and heeled it in at a freinds garden for the winter. Many choice plants are being left behind but generous freinds have offered me divisions from their gardens next Spring. Some people think that I am crazy to leave my garden but I am looking foward to designing and building a new one. The new place is ideal for a shade garden which also happens to be my main interest. I will keep the garden smaller so my wife and I will have more time for family and travel.(Visiting other gardens) The hardest part will be restraining my urge to keep adding more gardens and aquiring to many plants,
It is hard to leave a beloved garden, but so exciting planning a new one. I wish you the best of luck with your move, although it sounds as if you have everything under control ... and look forward to seeing your new shade garden develop. I'm sure you're going to have loads of fun!
