This garden is beautiful!! I would like to know what the plant is to the right of the large stone at the bottom of the picture. I also see it across the path in a grouping of three. Thank you.

    Hi there - Thanks for the kinds words about the garden! This is Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' - or Japanese forest grass. A great plant for damp and shady or part shade locations. It likes rich soil.
