apply loosely to the type of plantings described below, because to “garden” in a wooded area requires a different state of mind than you may be accustomed to in your regular gardening approach. Rows, mathematical spacing and willfulness just won’t do!
Nor is there as wide a berth for stretching a plant’s preferred growing conditions. Bulbs appropriate for the wooded garden must be planted gently around and between indigenous inhabitants: tree roots, mosses and delicate plants, whereas a new garden is usually a vast, fresh terrain of bare earth waiting for the gardener to impose a pattern.
In the woods, the pattern is pretty much indicated or laid out already. As with any other wild habitat, respect for the place and a genuine attempt to follow nature will bring the greatest success. Also, before selecting and ordering bulbs, check your plant sources carefully to ensure that plant material is nursery propagated, not collected from the wild.
