A PVC pipe ran from the chamber, under pavers and daylighted onto hillside to left. Plantings include Clethra, Astilbe pumila, Thalictrum rochebruneanum, Rogersia aeculifolia, Alchemilla mollis, Hosta.

This is a vertical garden wall installation in a shaded location. The plants are growing in pockets made of a horticulture fabric made entirely from recycled, non-toxic plastics which will last a lifetime. The automatic drip irrigation system delivers water to the top row of plants.The water is absorbed by the fabric, and then drips down through the entire wall, hydrating all the plants evenly on an adjustable schedule. The fabric is designed to hold and release moisture. As the plants continue to grow, the fabric will become less and less visible, until entirely hidden, resulting in a solid wall of attractive plants.

Close up of native fern and lanceleaf coreopsis. Will be listing plant names at a later date. At left is the native horsemint - basically the same plant as the Monarda used in my front yard sun beds - except this blooms a pale pink.

From the perspective of the bench, the reclaimed brick pathway winds through a mix of plantings and small garden accents. The dogwood above provides shade and enclosure, while glimpses of the studio and outdoor shower beyond add depth and interest. This corner was designed as both a destination and a passage, balancing comfort with movement through the garden.

Design ideas for a small asian shade backyard stone water fountain landscape.

To gain more usable space in this narrow landscape and update the hardscaping and overgrown garden, my design reconfigured the pathway with poured-in-place concrete (cast concrete) pavers accented by Mexican pebbles and a stunning variety of succulents and other site-appropriate plantings that thrive in shade and part sun. We removed the tree to create a patio area large enough to fit a table and chairs for a small group. Non-invasive/clumping Bamboo was added to help screen the patio and provide privacy. Other shade to part-shade plants were included that provide a variety of textures and colors throughout the seasons. Low-voltage lighting was installed for safety and ambiance.
