You know there are so many views that I take for granted. Last week I was just walking around in my normal day and was taking pictures of really some pretty neat views that I take forgranted each day. I challenge anyone who is reading this to stop and take a photo in your mind or with your camera of the really amazing sights you see everyday and dont even realize it.

All of the Plant materal in this bed was taken from another bed on campus that was being demolishedThe brick wall was just redone due to the old brick falling down. I had a blank slate to work with. The yews, Arborvitea that are not in the pic but around the corner, and the magnolias were taken from another bed on campus

All of the Plant Material in below landscape is from another bed on CampusIn all of the bed I will be putting some annual color to make the beds pop later in the spring

After Pictures of Bloch School

The yews, aborviteas, magnolias were all transplanted from another bed on campus. In the back it is hard to see but there are red knockout roses behind the boxwoods. There is are peegee hydrangeas on a standard that will go in behind each set of three yews to add more color. also on the corner of the front entrance scape will be a white magnolia on each corner.

later on in the spring I will be putting annual color around each arborvitea next to the side walks as well as adding annual color under the Japanese Maple at the bottom of the stairs along the wall.
