Japanese Style Garden Evolution

A really long-term project.

The front half-moon garden will be a perfect spot for a "formal" Japanese Style garden.

This post is all about the evolution.

Check back (every few months or so - it will be a while) for updates.

Now Here is a Timeline.

This is the very beginning when we moved in in 2011.

The place was a mess! Cedar tree let wild. Dogwood hidden and half dead (didn't even know it was a dogwood til 2012. Camilla and Rhododendrons hidden in the ferns, blackberry and big leaf maple babys.

Over the past year we have been cleaning it out.
This summer it was time to fell the little cedar tree.
Wow! I can actually see the dogwood and the cherry!
