Specialty Gardening: roofers mashed my garden, 1 by chris_h

Waaaah, I need some sympathy. Roofers next door, were dropping old shakes and shingles from the very tall house. One of the sheets of plywood they had placed against our fence to protect my garden broke, mashing about 6-8 feet of my shady border. It could have been much worse, but still I lost (for this season) a large Japanese waxbell, a nice cluster of Begonia Grandis, several ferns, a patch of trillium and a portion of my Kerria Japonica.

Here's the area in late May.
