I'm already changing the shape of this new structural feature. One thing I do know; it needs to be a reflection of the pond and must be shaped and positioned to work aesthetically as a unit with the pond, and the rest of the garden.James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20141337.post-4911208252885530492008-12-22T19:39:00.000-05:002008-12-22T19:39:00.000-05:00Benjamin,I like the black and white tulips with th...Benjamin,<BR/>I like the black and white tulips with the miscanthus. I'd love to have some deciduous hedges of beech or something similar, but I don't have the courage to devote several years to a planting that might just drown in the wet. Evergreen hedges would be good, but what evergreen likes wet feet in the winter?James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20141337.post-54923134328925359332008-12-22T10:31:00.000-05:002008-12-22T10:31:00.000-05:00I think it's essential to have some formals elemen...I think it's essential to have some formals elements within a naturalistic garden, and it's exciting to me to work on such projects--as it obviously is for you, too. Though my garden is much smaller, I've got some symmetray going on SLIGHTLY in the stone paths, plants and same plant groupings, and a few cornerstone / anchor shrubs (arborvitae, buckthorn). Oh, and I have some black and white tulips jammed in between some miscanthus. I like that irony. Anyway, look forward to seeing your results.Benjamin Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661489036836711335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20141337.post-82303740574847251322008-12-19T16:51:00.000-05:002008-12-19T16:51:00.000-05:00I found this really fascinating to see your though...I found this really fascinating to see your thought processes.Helen/patientgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164036792673009326noreply@blogger.com
