Garden in progress

The gardeners came. They worked very hard and so did Sofia (though there is no official record of this). Prickly things were taken out, along with even more ivy.
Frogs were found. One rather large one that hangs out with the fish in the pond, and a small one that trying to escape...
2 full vans of sticks, leaves and weeds. And every single leaf.
Next week the Garden Designer will come back and we'll see how we'll proceed from here.
Some before and after pictures, though maybe it would be more accurate to call them before and during pictures. There are a ton of bulbs coming and the lilac and rhododendrons will be spectacular! The children were very excited about the frog. And the leaf blower.
