The first job was to get the old paving stones removed and move the plants. They found even older paving stones underneath. We made this short video to help document the progress

As we live on a slope the red line is showing where we now need to fill to even off the ground. We had erosion towards the oak stump.
The area is a moorland hill so boggy clay but heathers and azaleas seems to love it. The birds think we've organized a worm party just for them.
So now we have achieved a sort of ground zero to redesign and create our tai chi space for training and teaching and hopefully entertaining once restrictions are lifted.
Our lighthouse garden for a lighthouse lifestyle - tai chi, qigong, meditation, wellbeing, fitness, martial arts, Pilates and personal training.
The future is looking very bright for all things Lighthouse!
