Our latest garden (spring of 2008) is the West Garden. We have moved many of our grasses to this garden. To try and make more of an impact, we have planted several grasses together A variety of other perennials and shrubs have been mixed in to add interest as this garden matures. A rail fence was built as a backdrop for this bed in the fall of 2008. The pictures to the left are 2008, those on the right are 2009 - it's amazing what nature can do in one year. |
