Absolutely beautiful! What variety of evergreens are in the background?

13 years ago

Also, could you please provide the names of the smaller shrubs and grasses (other than Japanese forest grass and japanese maple) in the foreground? I live in zone 3 and would like to recreate this in my backyard! Thank-you :)

All the grasses you see are the Japanese forest grass. Tree on left is a deodar cedar. Not sure of shrub just behind the lantern, Large tree back right is a Western red cedar, cloud pruned tree is a pine - probably a Japanese black pine. Can't ID others from this distance. You'll need to check to see which if any are hardy in zone 3 though. This garden is also featured in my new book Fine Foliage (St. Lynn's Press, 2013); http://www.lejardinetdesigns.com/new-book-coming-soon/

This photo took my breath away. I knew it had to be the result of our N.W. rain.
