Ground cover layers

Thank you for your interest in our shade border. I do not have a plan readily available, but would be happy to share the plant material list. Please remember each site is unique. These are plants which do well in the Chicago area. The background is Spruce and Arborvitae. The middle layer is Viburnum, Hydrangea and Ligularia. The foreground is Astilbe, Hosta and Pachy sandra. I hope this helps. Mike Schmechtig, President

added by Marc Chambers to marc_chambers's ideas (8 weeks ago)

I've already started, as far as dreaming and image collecting, and after the vege garden gets planted this coming weekend, I'm going to do some planting at my house. One of the areas is the Meditation Garden which I'm collecting ideas for. This I thought had some good feel to it. A little stiff for me but I like the plant choices. Mel - I NEED YOU!!!!!
