Early 2009 this shaded area beside the house was crying out for more than a bare place where nothing but a few weeds and leaves from the trees covered the ground.
I didn't really have a definite plan, rather the garden evolved as I placed rocks to build small beds.
It was a little like doing a jigsaw puzzle. I just placed the rocks where I thought they fit, and voila! a garden was born.
The garden beds were filled with topsoil and a whole lot of rich compost.
2011 and here is what the beds are looking like so far. I will be adding more plants as I can afford to. I have ferns, hellebore, primroses, wild strawberry plants as a ground cover, and a few other plants I can't remember the names of right now.
This past week I have started spreading bark mulch on the path, still have more to do on this project.
A few weeks ago, this moss and fern bed was created.

How wonderful to see from where it started and to what it is today. It looks so good. The moss and fern bed is such a great idea.
I love rocks and the way you used them to line your new bed is perfect. It's looking really great with all your plants.
