Your camera may just be the most important tool in your garden. Used to record the passage of time, it can show you just how much has been accomplished – this is especially useful if you are like me and tend to have a never-ending to-do list. Also, you can note how much things have actually grown, and show the location of plants that have been or need to be moved.
Here is a garden I recently designed and is newly planted.:
A sweet but drab bungalow with a large lot got a bright and cheery facelift, thanks to a new paint job, beautiful arbors with fencing and a showcase of plants chosen specifically for foliage colors and textures. All the lawn in the front was removed to make way for an abundance of plants in this collector’s garden.
Among some of my favorites that were planted are: Physocarpus ‘Centerglow’, Hebe traversii and Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’. There will be lots more to come from this garden, including a swale, water features, and a greenhouse! Keep an eye out for more pictures.
