An ornamental orchard of crab apples has been planted in front of the original barn, and a perennial edge in the foreground includes catmint and spirea.

Lesson from this garden: Perennials provide a palette of colors, textures and shapes to work with, as well as seasonal changes. Plants like irises add tall green spikes and flower earlier in the season, while plants like lamb's ear add soft silvery green texture closer to the ground for months. Do your homework when creating a plant plan. It's as easy as reading the tags on the plants at the nursery. See the rest of this property

Buy June-blooming plants now, so you can select the exact colors and varieties you prefer. Visiting plants in the nursery is one of the easiest ways of seeing the subtle differences between each plant. That's why it's a good idea to buy plants at the nursery every month, so you can evaluate which areas of your garden need more interest in each season and coordinate the perfect show.Newly in bloom are lilac (Syringa), ninebark (Physocarpus), Japanese snowbell (Styrax), heaths and heathers such as Erica and Daboecia, Hebe, and a wide variety of perennial flowers.This is also an ideal time to check out many Northwest natives that are newly in bloom, such as salal (Gaultheria shallon), ocean spray (Holodiscus discolor), native spirea (Spirea douglasii) and others.June's sunshine makes such a nice change from the usual Northwest rain that this is an ideal time to enjoy the garden — whether working in it or just relaxing.Check out more for your Pacific Northwest Garden
