Again, taken in the fall of 1999, you're looking at the newly tilled beds ready for planting which are located to the left of the pond. We refer to this area as the "Catcher's Mitt", in part due to its shape but also because this area 'catches' all the water rushing down the driveway when heavy rains occur.



In the foreground is a Crabapple (Malus, spp unknown) and in the background is a beautiful River Birch (Betula nigra 'Heritage') with the silhouette of a Hollywood Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Torulosa') planted to the left. We've made many changes to this area over the years and you'll see them all as we continue the tour.
