Up until last summer this was the birch treeS garden --but we've lost one. Although, we've yet to cut it down, and can hopefully get to it this spring.
This garden is full sun except for the birch trees, which let in a filtered light beneath them. The tree is tall and slender, so there is plenty of full sun planting area. We have a bird bath in this garden, surrounded by garlic chives that bloom very early.
This garden has daylilies, asian and oriental lilies, spiderwort, baptisia, asters and goldenrod. There are also two peonies and some coneflowers.
