woody garden (north of house, up the slope)

Planted here are saplings that will someday be large and (hopefully) colorful fall trees. For the time being, this is where I have several blueberry, currant, and gooseberry bushes, plus some raspberries. Wide varity of flowers, herbs, and decorative woody stuff. Have used salvaged concrete posts and chunks of old foundation in various places on the property.
