Ornamental Border

Ornamental Border

 

We expanded the garden toward the east to give it a border from the adjacent field. With that came opportunity for us to design a colorful border for park patrons to look at from any event field-side. We started with 3 small native trees: 2 Smoke Trees and 1 Fringe Tree. Then we were able to fill in between the trees with existing plants from the main garden to add all the color and foliage variations. The plants provide color and texture all year long.
