All your plantings will be fine in the long run.

If you will cut back your damaged plants and give them a little extra care with feeding and watering, this early in the growing season they should make a comeback. The exception will be the columbine, as it is probably going to call it a year and go dormant soon since we have begun our heat season. And FYI, the new heuchera needs pampering to get established; otherwise, heucheras are easy to lose in their first season.

All that being said, you are being incredibly gracious about the fact the roofers were complete jerks in not caring for your gardens as you paid them for their services.

Hope that's helpful.

That does help, Marcy. Thanks. I'm not sure what I could have done to protect that bed, since it's up against the house and they had to do some carpentry work there. The roofers did do a pretty good job cleaning up their mess, so I guess you just take the good with the bad. I should have had it done this winter. Thanks again for the reassurance. Pat

Also, thanks for commiserating. Everyone else said, "Oh, but aren't you glad to have a new roof?" Of course, but that doesn't make losing a fragile flower bed any easier. Only another gardener would understand.
