I continued working with Billy this week. I planted out Euphorbia amygaloides var. robbiae under the Coryllus avellana 'Aurea' that we had lifted the crown of a couple of weeks ago and where a lot of space had suddenly appear because of it.

Coryllus avellana 'Aurea' underplanted with a sea of Euphorbia amygaloides var. robbiae. Earlier in the week Billy had also planted some asters and Gaultheria sp. there. Underneath was already a Viburnum davidii

I also planted some Vinca minor with the odd one 'Le Grave' an E. A. Bowles one under some Pinus sylvestris also in the Conifer Lawn area.

Then I helped clear the Gravel Garden, weeding and taking out the dead.
