We bravely taste various color combination hoping they will work together harmoniously . Our end is to select works grouping that leave in a spectacular mix of color , shape , and texture culminate into a pleasing scene . Anything that fails to blend or impart out the best in each other is transplanted to a more useful garden placement .

For each vignette a featured foliage industrial plant is selected as an anchor to the view . To inflict a sentience of drive plants with arching and/or serrated leaf are selected . With these pic we need to share several of our preferent timber garden vignette . ”
