The Beagles never lament the loss of the old oak, or worry much about any other such calamities that befall their garden. They turn the problems into opportunities. When another big tree died in the backyard, they planted four linden trees in a tight square to define the corners of a cozy garden room. When a long section of fence blew down in a storm, they installed a lively mixed hedge that provides privacy and expands their planting repertoire. "A lot of things in your garden just happen because you were forced into it," Constance says. "You respond to things."
