We have three circular clearings in Pomfret’s Wood. Initially we let all three grow wild to see how they would develop. However the grass grew so quickly in all three that we couldn’t walk through them or enjoy being in the space. Around mid summer we cut the grass in one to open up the space … it completely changed how we spent time there.
We’ve decided to cut back a second of the clearings before winter sets in - this one is in the west of the wood, surrounded by hazel. A very different feel. Will be interesting to see how this feels in spring :-)
