New Garden Inspired by the GPOD - FineGardening

Abstract

Greetings! Back in April you published an entry titled "Bob's Japanese-Style Garden," and I immediately thought of an area in my yard where I could use a similar approach. The spot is sunny in early spring but mostly in deep shade once the tree leafs out. Deeper under the tree, I plan to put in some spring ephemerals that will give us early color but be finished before the deep shade arrives. The bare bones of the project in early May Virginia bluebells, bleeding heart, and a few tulips and daffodils in my spring garden A new addition this spring were some fabulous 'Angelique' tulips. These were extremely long-lived flowers in the garden. Itoh peonies and roses now in bloom Have a garden you'd like to share? Have photos to share?
