Gorgeous! I don't know which one I like best and don't think I am going to even try to decide because they're all beautiful. I always love seeing whole areas like this and what someone has done to pull it all together. Thanks.

I can't wait to get where you're at someday!

Very nice color and texture contrast with the plants.

Everything placed just perfect! Nice Job!

Wow. lol, especially as a part-time hosta collector, I find ALL of these photos to be stunning. The pondless waterfall is also one of the best water features I have ever seen, in real life or photo. Your 'Gold Drift' specimen is outstanding, really starting to take off and I love the mini bed.

Do you think you could take a photo or two closer with some names?

Just wonderful Dan, wonderful.

Your garden just gets nicer and nicer with age, doesn't it? Beautiful as always, Dan. Thank you for the photos!

Holly

Indeed, perfect planting!

Compliments!That's the right garden-feeling.

Dan, very nice pics of a very nice garden!
These pics should be used for a garden magazine to promote conifers!

Thanks Cher, whaas, ricksample, Will, Holly, Wolfgang and coniferjoy! I really appreciate the positive feedback. In the land of suburban all-grass yards, most people think I'm a little nuts with all of the plants I have in my yard, so it's nice hearing from a few people who wouldn't mind being my neighbor :)

Will, I'll try to take some closer pics of the plants in the miniature gardens and post them soon.

Whass, you'll be there before you know it and yours will look much better than mine because you've got more space and a plan. My garden started out as a weekend project in the Fall of 2004 and just kind of evolved, but it's been fun.

Thanks again!

Dan

Everything looks so perfect. Really remarkable.

I really enjoy your garden every time I see it. The plants are presented very well. It looks like you are going to get a lot of new growth this season.
I think the maintenance is less than most people realize. Conifers are less trouble than most plants. It's the Cottage gardens that are a lot of work.

dan, I think the impulses and spontanity make for the best gardens! Looks like yours is a prime example.

I did alot of planning with the screening part. Now I move to spot planting and wishlist shopping!
