Thanks, Sue!
A mass of wildness.
A bit on the weedy-looking side, but this mixed bed of Campanula medium, shrubs, grasses and spring flowering bulbs are protecting the roots and trunk of my white birch. Mowers and string-trimmers stay clear!
One of the bridge walks. My goal is to eventually have lots of iris in between the hostas.
One of the newest rose gardens.
The red one is a climber. Here it is by the end of August.
Susan,
I love your grassy buffer zone!
The pretty, plumy grasses here help get me through the winter. I have some prominently placed in view of almost every window.
