On such a small lot I don't have a lot of<br />room for both woody plants and perennials. I've focused on my<br />butterfly garden which is mainly herbaceous, but there are a few<br />shrubs mixed in. I do have a number of dwarf conifers in containers,<br />some in combo pots with mini hostas and some in plain nursery pots by<br />themselves. There were plans to expand behind the butterfly garden<br />and remove all the turf on the east and north sides of the house and<br />install more shrubs/conifers with more shade perennials but those<br />plans are on hold for a year-ish as we wait for more info on a pending<br />opportunity.Nick Terneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440113002223574303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617827497128858809.post-56886337859545160722011-09-02T16:19:10.442-05:002011-09-02T16:19:10.442-05:00All those neat conifers you sell and no representa...All those neat conifers you sell and no representation in your garden! The flower are great but the green leaves can only give you so much architectual, color and texture interest.JimmyJoehttp://www.jimmyjoe.comnoreply@blogger.com
