Hello, this is just great! All these great ideas! I am thinking about a tall wide and deep arbor; annual vines for some privacy this year, maybe covering with some really outrageous rambling roses over time. I have always felt inspired by the John Singer Sargent painting of two girls lighting lanterns in a lily garden, but couldn't grow roses very well under those trees. I also like the idea of birch trees, as the garden is something of a Moon Garden, with Japanese painted ferns, pulmonaria, all those white lilies...I saw the most beautiful small grove of birch trees in an open garden last year; he called them Himalayan Birch.

I will have a lot of plants to move.
