2017 Garden Possibilities

Plans for the garden this year.

Move/Remove:
  • Remove Hydrangea if it fails to bloom again this year.
  • Remove Red Twig Dogwood from rear of Heather Garden.
  • Move Phlox to between the Herb and the Heather Garden.
  • Move Iris from Heather Garden.
  • Re-position/rebuild the compost containment system.
  • Re-position and level the raised beds.
  • Move Sweet Woodruff to an area with less competition. The Perivinkle is taking over.
Possible Additions:
  • Feather Rocks as a boundary at the back of the Heather Garden.
  • A few more Heaths and Heather plants. From Heath and Heather Nursery.
  • An Azaleas, ever-blooming variety, blooms spring, summer and fall at the base of the front step wall.
  • A Hops plant trailing along horizontal supports.
  • Another Witch Hazel, Hamamelis vernalis Amethyst, between the existing espaliered Witch Hazel and the Lilac.
  •  One or more Phlox, we had white and a variegated, but lost them at some point.
  • Another Coral Bell, either with real red flowers or stunning foliage for the front garden.
  • Some taller late summer blooming plants for the front garden.
