Revisiting Alyson’s garden in Washington state

Today we ’re revisiting Alyson Ross - Markley ’s garden in Redmond , Washington . We last chat her garden elbow room back in June of 2012 ( refresh your memoryHERE ) .

Today she says,“These are my favored moment , mostly from last yr , of our now 10 - year - erstwhile garden . The emphasis is always on foliage , and making the most out of narrow side and back garden spaces . Because we are in skinny proximity to our neighbors , I make grow privacy for all of us with the habit of upright element : sculpture , a marvelous empress Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree ( cut to the ground yearly ) , vine maple , Nipponese maple , and evergreen hedging .

“ Golden repeats are throughout , which include ‘ Golden Spirit ’ smoke bush , Bowles ’ golden sedge , Japanese forest grass , ‘ Golden Rocket ’ ligularia , ‘ traffic light ’ heuchera , golden bleeding nub , and a ‘ Little Honey ’ hydrangea .

“ There is an exotic aspect with the employment of large and outstandingly shaped and colored foliage , such as ‘ Kaleidoscope ’ May apple , ‘ Sum and Substance ’ genus Funka , ‘ Black Negligee ’ genus Actaea , and a variety of ferns . fern and vine maples were strategically planted to provide a nice passage from the tremendous protect forest preserve behind us . I also enjoy interesting light effects and shadow play , especially looking from the backside of a large leafage ! ” .
