Pacific Northwest Gardening: Backyard Regrade, 0 by bonehead

This area we refer to as the restoration zone. A bitty J. maple and a couple more feather reeds, backed by a series of true natives - western azalea, ribes, mock orange, and redtwigs. All are pretty spindly, will look better in a year or two. Behind this planting is a mature deciduous huckleberry growing on a cedar stump, with Indian plum and quaking aspens behind. In the alder to the left, you can vaguely see the treehouse (more of a platform with a railing, another evolving project). We also left a spot to tuck in a bench in this area.
