A year later, in the spring of 2000, the border to the right side of the front door is beginning to take shape.



Plantings in this area include: Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens 'Glauca Prostrata'), Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum var. dissectum atropurpureum 'Crimson Queen'), Bridalwreath Spirea (Spirea pruniflora), Katsura Tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum), and a weeping Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus 'Pendula') and a very fast growing Willow with a unique form (Salix x erythroflexuosa 'Scarlet Curls') planted on the slope behind a small pond which is behind the heron sculptures in the photo. Two Mugo Pines (Pinus mugo) were also planted but suffered through the years and have been removed.
