rainymountain's 6. East 2 garden

Garden Type: Flower | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

Raised bed, like E, imported earth was mounded on underlying soil and banked with bark mulch. The paths on either side are bark mulch over major spruce roots just below ground level. Approx. 13’ long from north to south, 6’ wide at the north end with the east edge being straight, to 3’ at the south end where there is now a stone wall. The west side now has a low rock wall, rising at the south end with most of the east side being still unwalled.
Full to partial sun, full sun in spring before maple leafs up.
Its major plant is a PeeGee Hydrangea.
