This bedline starts on the West side and then makes a turn to follow on the North side (which forms the L-shape). So there comes the NorthWest corner which is a ideal spot to have lots of shade trees. There is some privacy already due to the tall evergreens on our neighbours yard.
This garden is going to be the best spot in our whole yard once all the trees grow and give enough shade. On the NorthWest corner the maple trees are aligned in a triangular pattern. Beneath these trees are SeaGreen Junipers closer to the fence which will give a green background for all the flowering perennials in the front. Beautiful perennials like Russian sage, harvestmoon coneflower, pink coreopsis, speedwell, shasta daisy and black eyed susan are planted in order of their sizes. Taller ones on the back and shorter ones in the front. All these flowers attract butterflies which will enhance the natural beauty of the garden. A deciduous shrub called Spirea is placed in a semicircle pattern between the perennials. This shrub is well known for its four season beauty.
Diagonal to the center Maple tree is a magnificent Oak tree. This Oak tree has already captured our hearts because of its beautiful shape and also being the tallest feature in the backyard.

On the West side we have planted 3 Vanderwolf Pine which will provide privacy from the pathway. This curve keeps extending crossing the fence and going into the front yard ( which will be explained in a different post :-) )
On the North side we have planted couple of Double Knock out roses, which are absolutely stunning when in full bloom. The vibrant red color of the flower can attract your attention just in a moment. Roses follow with a deciduous shrub called Burning Bush, which is well know for its burning red fall color. This is the one and only old plant from our yard which is moved to a new spot. Next to Burning bush follows 3 evergreen Black Hills spruce which is the privacy factor on the North side.
All trees, shrubs, evergreens, roses and flowering perennials are planted in the exact locations as per the landscape plan. Winter has already set in this year and all plants have gone to dormancy leaving a long wait until Spring (April). And once again, we go to a relaxation mode from gardening chores and put into patience mode.
