Looks like a nice little garden area! Thanks for sharing! Phil

How pretty! And it will just keep getting better, won't it, as it fills in! It will be fun to see it in a month and then next year...and the year after that and...

This will be lush and lovely! Ferns and heuchera look happy too. Is that a 'Niagara Falls' at the back?

'Niagara Falls' it is, Jan. : ) Also have Harpoon, Wide Brim, Abiqua Drinking Gourd, June, Remember Me, Lakeside Coal Miner, Rhino Hide, and some variegated liriope.

My my Don - You're acquiring more land all over the place for more hostas. Should be a very pretty little garden when it fills in - or is that out!

Nice job! Looks sooo pretty...ditto remarks...it'll be quite the 'vista' looking up the tiers from below when you are done planting...so much to look forward to.

Hey, Don. That is going to look great.

May I suggest that you do a bit of "fool the eye" on the fence at the far end. Find a short door or a gate, and just mount it there to look like it is a gate. Or, paint on the inside of the fence a window, then hang two old fake exterior shutters on either side. I like the gate better, with the shutter on either side or maybe a painted on urn with some painted on ferns on the fence boards. Maybe Karen would like to decide what would look good there.....huh.....get her input.

Great ideas Moc and mirrors would work behind a pretend old window frame. Niagara Falls will make quite an impression on the top tier . If and when it gets as big as McTavish Myrle's it will fill in that whole area. If so it can be lifted above all the others and still be impressive and you will be able to see the stocks and the draping leaves. You must have been keeping this area a secret and what a treasure it will be

Don, if your other tiers get filled like this one, where are you planning to step to visit them? You know, a touch here, a word there...right now you have the room, but they'll spread..just wondering..

I was also thinking, since you generously invited us to make suggestions, that this top tier is the final destination (i would view it quickly then start at the bottom and work my eye upward taking in the detail of the plants) and could have a focal point, ie., obelisk, urn, .....just following Moc's train of thought...

Thanks for letting us get involved in your project! It's fun...more fun right now than the work I have to do in my own yard!!! Lol

Can't wait to see tier two!
Jo

Thanks, Jo. I can't fill the other tiers up like this one, but I can plant against the fence and the house. I'll just have to leave myself a bit of space in the center for access. Don't need much.
