As of May 1 I will have been living here a year, but I was lucky enough start bringing my woody plants to this yard in March of last year. While I've always dreamed of starting with a blank slate, preparing all the beds ahead of time, and having all my design ideas somewhat implemented before putting plants in, it just never happens that way, LOL. So working somewhat backwards, I decided where beds would go and where paths would separate them, and just started planting. Since no one had any idea what the plan in my head looked like, all those shrubs and small trees dotted here and there looked like chaos to the average onlooker, LOL. Finally, after a year of "connecting the dots", a cohesive design is emerging!
