This area was redone this fall. Coral bark maples. pazazz maple. Red bark dogwood, beauty berries and more. I wanted to create a woodsy buffer between neighbors. Will post photos after planting and after leaf out.

vlmay writes: WE are in zone 6, but are in zone denial. Lots of rain, mild climate. Yes I bought the vessal from costco and turned it into a waater feature. This fall we took it out moved it to the front of the house to the new area we replanted this fall. We are now working on a new waterfall in the spot of the pot. I have posted a photo of the progress so far. Do you have any pointers for us. We are gardeners that do what looks good to us. It has been a marvelous journey that still continues.
