Here's a shot of two garden areas in progress. Near the house I am planting one or two winter hardy camellias with hydrangeas on the outside. They will get some morning sun, and they are well protected. This is looking down the hill. I dug out the invasive bushes and am amending the soil to plant a variety of lavender- purple rhodis and azaleas sandwiched between yellow flowering cornus mas and corylopsis spicata at the top, and coral and purple perennials below. It's my imagining of the Winterthur azalia garden. I hope it will pull together without the colors clashing, but they won't all be in bloom at once. My dog Clifford enjoys watching people work. My white peony garden is at the very back.
