Is what this section has been screaming for several years now, but I have no idea what to plant or what would look nice. The area has a slope, ground is on the acidic side, gettings morning sun and filtered sun in the afternoon. Got a grouping of pines there. The pic may not show it, but would say there a good quarter of an acre to plant maybe a bit more.


I kinda know what I would like to see, but have no idea if such a thing is possible or what shrubs to use to create such an effect. I would like if possible to see a little bit of color all year round. I would like to have it so that you could kinda wander up the slope and be able to stop and linger and appreciate the different trees or shrubs.

I would like to see it as some kind of nice display type garden. Got a big natural run off ditch on the left side of the photo which is being dug out deeper and will have little wooden bridge built over it to be able to walk up and through this area.

Would appreciate any ideas an suggestions. My artist talents and ability to invision are about siltch. Thanks!
