This garden was created with four-legged creatures in mind. An extended informal paio area was created using decomposed granite edged in tumbled bluestone, increasing the areas for enthusiastic puppy play. A cedar garden shelter was installed creating a visual destination, space for contemplation for owner and Newfie. The planting design is mostly native, with the exception of tough groundcovers (Epimediums), and grasses. Low-growing grasses and sedges soften the design, pulling together all the elements. Carex divulsa, and Sesleria autumnalis are two of my favorite: tough as nails, versatile (sun/shade), green almost year round, and tolerant of root competition. This style, I like to call Woodland Naturalism.

The "secret ingredient" in organic container gardens: worm castings with live worms. Red compost worms convert organic nutrients in potting soils into plant-available form, and the last chamber of the worm gut is loaded with beneficial bacteria and fungi that boost plant immunity, cycle nutrients, and increase the water-holding capacity of the potting soil.
