Mmmmmmmm. Looks tasty.

Here's a picture or two of the memorial garden at the Episcopal Church in Redmond, WA, where we just had the Green Elephant plant exchange. These are all under a "grove" of nicely limbed-up firs. I'm sure they'll keep up with the watering for the first few years to get the plants established, but after that, they should be fine.

I have nandina and star magnolia growing under my fir tree in the front yard. Not my doing, but they've probably been there for 10+ years and don't get any help from me.
