Tia’s garden in Washington, Day 2

Merry Christmas Eve Eve , everyone , and welcome to Day 2 in Tia Scarce ’s garden ! In case you pretermit it yesterday , she said,“These photos are from my Kirkland , Washington , garden . It was eight years in the making . My goal was to produce a garden that can withstand our annual dry geological period without any supplementary water . Pesticide - complimentary , only the lawn get an occasional hit with organic fertilizer . I mulched every three years or so with a deep compost . We recently sold it , opting instead for a smaller , sunny , easier to keep dimension . “Scrumptious planting , Tia ! So cool and wonderfully textural . And those floating chicken feed globe are mesmerizing . Thanks so much , again , for sending in photos !

This bed was one of my favorites, combining Berberis ‘Concorde’, our native kinnikinnick, a long-forgotten amsonia, Crocosmia ‘Coleton Fishaacre’ (a luscious gold), a cute larix, brunnera (possibly my fave perennial), and ceratostigma.

Blue fescue, a very decorative begonia, and a very forgiving fern under a ‘Limelight’ hydrangea, with a dwarf ginkgo in the corner.
