I conifer garden to my own heart, full of great plants, companions and no room for anything else. Is the fence for rabbits? I love the layout, it actually works very well. How many plants on your... land? :)

Wow...what are your mid and long-term strategies on spacing? You've got enough plants there for x3 or x4 the square footage. You can keep them trimmed but many of those beautiful dwarf conifer specimens look even better when they're 4-6' tall.

Looks great Ireena! Just the right amount of color!

we some of these be harvested and moved out the the arboretum???

Will, I have 390 conifer varieties at this moment, but the fence is for my two young dogs....:)

Smivies - this garden is a "temporary storage" for my conifers... In my garden now is "Big Transplantation":) All hardy plants I relocated to my meadow (3ha) in zone 5. All sensitive plants for zone 6 will stay in the old little garden. I start to plant my new garden this summer -

Here are some plants from my old little garden too. And I have enough space finally, what a joy!:)

Wow, how beautiful! I assume you are in zone 7?

Thank you, Rick:) I'm glad for your appreciation.

Yes, Ken, I gradually create my new garden.... I have to go slowly, but I do not have any tool other than the shovel and my hands:) Yet we do not have electricity and the water wells... But now I have the greatest need for the fence.
