Before removing that beloved tree or shrub that bit the dust, try highlighting it for another season or two with a coat of vibrant paint. This garden was designed by the horticulturists at the West Tenessee Research and Education Center in Jackson, Tennessee.

to illustrate the concept. I would love to see a montage-page in FG w/ photos of various creative solutions to disasters.
In Portland Ore. we once visited a garden where the owner recycled pieces of a broken treasured urn into a patio mosaic. Here at The Cotton-Arbo retum, we experienced the death of three mature sugar maples surrounding our strategically placed shade hut. Rather than remove the trees , we had them cut down to only 12-15', so that when one is sitting in the shade hut,one cannot see the cut-off tops and the trees appear to be part of the landscape. The 'solution'is temporary but it also helps us ease into the ultimate complete loss of our three beloved trees.
