Our Lighthouse Garden - Transformation Part 2

Day 1: Tuesday 2nd February 2021 we broke ground. 

Exciting times ahead as all the preparation work is now started and the weather gods have been kind. Seb Wilcock and his crew have been with us bright and early to move the plants we wanted to save, check over the design plans, make any adjustments and get started.

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



Day 2: The Digger

On Wednesday, the digger arrived to get the tree stumps and roots out of the garden and level the ground. 

Next door's littlest is celebrating his birthday and him and his big brother were very excited about the digging and machines. 

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. 


There were some fabulous roots unearthed but yet to find any archaeology or Saxon Gold. 

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!
