Before we get started on the area surrounding the new Arbor, we've got a little work to do in the area where the path will lead into the gardens.


Remember the aggressive patch of Petasites mentioned when I was working on the Rock Garden? For several years I groaned every time I looked at this massive patch as it was threatening to swallow everything in the area! I finally decided to tackle the grueling task of removing it all in the fall of 2006 and plant the area with a combination of Hostas and Ferns.
