Shade Gardening: Mist room, 1 by rutholive

I live in interior North Central WA, just south of the Canadian border. We have pretty hot dry summers. Have to irrigate for at least 7 months during summer. So I thought a mist room would be nice in the hottest weather. It is fairly shady, from the east shaded by the garage, from the north west by a fairly large Tilia tomentosa, Silver Linden, that I planted 12 years ago, and also from the west by a large lilac. I already had a mist system from Charlies installed in my small gh, so I had the fellow who works for me just bring the pvc pipe around the garage to use for the mist garden.

In stalled some 4 x 4 posts that support the 2 x 4s that the pvc pipe and misters are fastened to. Feels really nice to walk through the mist on a hot summer day.
