large garden in Palso

This garden, planted in the summer of 2002, is 42' in diameter. The lawn, at right, slopes down to a wet area.

Special landscape designs were created to take the varying micro-climates into account.


Paths, logs and rocks were placed among the plants to break up the garden and provide interest.

The wet areas, shown above, were planted with sweet Indian plantain, queen-of- the-prairie and other plants that appreciate moist soil. Rocks, stones and logs add additional interest.
