All those evergreens make me feel like I'm on the path to Camelot! Beautiful.

What are the two evergreens flanking your Countess de Bouchard clematis? They are fabulous!

candysgardens Jan 26,2013 Your gardens are so very wonderful for many reason. Certainly "garden tour"worthy. Would love to see it in 10 years when shrubs and trees have matured. Your plants look exceptionally healthy. Only another gardener can appreciate the time, effort and knowledge that this garden has required. Congratulations.

The two evergreens flanking the 'Countess de Bouchard" clematis are a 'Skyland' spruce (the large specimen) and a weeping spruce. I like mixing evergreens in the border for contrast and winter interest.

Beautifully done. This made me want to go back to my own photos from last year, just to assure myself that my flowers are still there somewhere under the snow!
