Trimming the Tree

Landscaping truly is an art form.  Our own trees either have a carpet of grass surrounding them or are encircled with cedar chips.  On my walk home from our neighborhood branch library, I noticed the trimness and artistic arrangement of plants around this tree.  Now, why didn't I think of that?!

    Those are lovely and lush against the stone wall background. I'll need to get into the garden this weekend and tame the yard down :-). Hope your weather heats up a bit for the weekend in St. Paul!

    That's a great idea. I love that little stone wall. I think those plants must be hostas. Hostas are great plants. They grow like crazy and they are low maintainance. I love hastas and so do the deer.

    Those are great looking hostas! They like t he shade, so under trees is a good place for them. Mine have never taken off like these though.

    You are absolutely right, there is more grace and harmony around this tree than in some museum I know...

    Are these hosta lilies? They give an almost tropical feel to the landscape.

    What's really nice about this photo is not only the colors but the various textures...the stone, the flora, the bark all complement each other so well. I think it would be a good place just to sit and meditate.
