Planting Plan


Tree and shrub planting plan, might be right, might be wrong.  I've tried to use plants that will give different things throughout the year like Cornus for its winter stem colour and general greeness during the rest of the year, Corylus avellana 'Contorta' for twisted stems and catkins in winter and Garrya elliptica for catkin type things and being evergreen.  There are some Hamamelis for their early spring/winter spidery flowers as well and Cotinus and Choisya for leaf colour.  I would add to this ornamental grasses and herbaceous perennials along with bulbs to try and keep something going on at all times.

Failing that, I might just use Delphiniums...white ones.
