Briarlake...Plants!

I've been holding off on a good bit of planting, trying to get past this perpetual winter we have been having. Now that March is here, I'm ready to install some plants. The Briarlake job has been going on in phases throughout the winter. I've done a good bit of drainage work here and had to disrupt and repair in the process.... now I'm doing the planting phase and adding some stepping stones. The design behind the screened in porch is anchored by a nice Monrovia grown Mountain Laurel in the corner and a informal Sarcococca (Sweetbox) hedge. Autumn Ferns and some Hosta add interest and color. The other back area has a nice grouping of Variegated Pittisporum with a repeat of the ferns and hostas adjacent to the dry creek bed that was part of the initial drainage project.
