## Community Q&A

**Q: Surface rock** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the exterior rock on the building.  Can you please tell me what it is. Thanks!

A: More to the question, the walls are made of local Ellicott City, MD granite.

**Q: What is the cascading plant on the retaining wall?  Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thanks

A: Cotoneaster salicifolia "Repandens" or Willowleaf Cotoneaster. Rich deep green semi-evergreen shrub that is great for draping over walls. Requires full sun.

**Q: Nice Plant Palette -- Plant ID please** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the mounding small-leafed shrub back right edge of lawn?

A: Our office is in Columbia MD. the site in question is an historic site in Ellicott City, MD. Similar to Westchester but less snow. Maybe half a zone warmer. I know because I grew up in the Yonkers/Bronxville area.

**Q: What kind of tree is planted in the upeer right hand corner?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We placed matching Crape Myrtles in the two northern corners of the old barn foundation to help frame the garden.

**Q: what is the shrub in the background - in front of window on west?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The shrub center left in front of the wall is a Tree Peony.

**Q: Is there a creek under the bridge?  Thanks!!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: There is a natural spring head that is located at the lower right hand corner of the photograph -  hence the use of Astilbe and Ferns etc. that love wet feet. Maintaining the stone lined creek bed requires a fair amount of maintenance (hand weeding).    ...John Slater
