A Sense of Place: Simple Things

June 18, 2010
By Jane Rickard

Three years ago we did a total rebuild of our garden, put down bricks fixed a drainage problem the whole shebang. Now three years later we have a outdoor living space we eagerly move into every May and regretfully leave in October.  One of the plants we discovered while planting our new space were ornamental grasses. They quickly became favorites as not only are they a beautiful green fountain in the summer they provide structure and interest in the winter.  Today’s visual treat are images of a Korean hardy variety that has pride of place along our walk.
