I've always loved the concept of discovery in gardens; not knowing what lies around the next turn in the garden path or even behind the next shrub. I like the same concept on the smaller scale of discovering a multitude of little treasures in each flower bed; it makes for an untidy but interesting garden. To that end, I've planted small bulbs and woodland ephemerals everywhere, which are slowly spreading around at their whim. My garden doesn't have the grand vistas and landscaping that will place it on the cover of Fine Gardening magazine (or even on the back page), but I'd rather poke around in a little nook that has creamy pink hellebores and clumps of snow white twinleafs surrounded by waves of soft lilac wood anemones and sky blue scillas.
Disorder can be a good thing in gardens.
