The other side of the beech tree.

Expect you get lots of lovely leaf mould.

yes but it takes 2 - 3 yrs to rot down well.

Me too. What is that leafy groundcover around the tree? Its and ideal environment for lady bugs.

There is all sorts under there. Lamium galeobdolon [yellow archangel], Lamium 'PInk Pewter', leaves of Geranium phaeum, winter aconites, hellebores, Scrophularia altissima and many other plants such as ferns etc.

I always hope to have something of interest either in leaf or flower under there.

Love the border!
