Lots of plants

The landscapers worked like mad today and on Monday, they only have to put in the mulch. If everything goes well, we should have grass by Tuesday evening! There are a lot of plants. I hope it is a low maintenance garden!

Here is the planting in front of my office. A serviceberry anchors the left hand side with some hibiscus.

And the front of the house. We have some "old-fashioned" plants like peonys and lots of yellow daylillies

Along the right side of the house there is a "Royal Purple" Smoketree and lots of perenial geraniums.

mixed in with Hydrangeas and Hostas

In the back, on the right are my lilacs and what will eventually become my vegetable and herb garden.

And on the left, we left space for our firepit with more daylillies, peonies and ornamental oregano.

At the back of the house is a pear tree surrounded by purple poppymallow

Heading up the hill, there is salvia with a rose in front of the chase, and a miscanthus grass

It will be very interesting to see these plants mature and change through the first season and beyond.
