The Bank

Between the raindrops Don and Tim have been working on our landscaping projects around the pond. What was once just a grassy bank is turning into a landscaped area. I am planting mostly perennials and I hope that they come back next year. Not much is in bloom yet but here are some pictures.
 
This picture is looking at the pond and shows the area outside the picture window. I am planning to put a weeping cherry tree over there and a cement birdbath. Today Don finished the wall and did some other stone work.

This is the right side of the pond. I put the large gate at the top of the stairs. The clematis is in bloom. There is one for each side of the gate and hopefully it will fill in and cover the large gate.

The creeping juniper is at the top of the waterfall. It only gets 6 inches tall put spreads. That is really the only evergreen in the garden. The plumcherry is to the left and behind is the coneeaster bush.


The orange daylillies remained from the old landscape but the hydranga is new along with the Russian sages.
