Bay Street Perennial Beds

 Three beds of perennials: Forest Edge, Gold, Silver and Bronze, Meadow bed.   Here is the third in a series highlighting the gardens I am hired to take care of.   This post shows you all eight years, in reverse order, since I designed and grew this garden.  

After viewing this video clip again, I realized I should have cut that digitalis out of that bed.  That purple ruined the entire sweep.   I knew it when I took the video, but I have difficulty cutting back prime self sowers.

Eight year 2023





Seventh year 2022.




Sixth Spring and Summer 2021.



Fifth Spring and Summer 2020.





December lights 2019, the yew are getting taller fulfilling their buttress shapes.

Fourth Spring, April 2019 the oak leaf hydrangeas are getting to a decent size.





November 2018

August 2018

2018, third Spring.



May 2017 Gold, Silver and Bronze bed.



Second Spring, April 2017 the green structures are bulking up.



Our rainy season brings out the moss on the sandstone flag.

First Spring April 2016, added the two viburnum and two rows or Carex.

This is the main prospective from the lower units deck. The middle back bed is the Gold, Silver and Bronze bed, left bed is the Forest Edge bed and right is the Meadow bed.

Added the drip irrigation lines, the yew buttresses,  and four Golf-Ball Pittosporum to be clipped as gum drops.

Forming the back bed with a low boxwood hedge, a tall Hollywood Juniper hedge, repositioned sandstone flag serve as a maintenance access, and a heavily clipped lemon.

Winter 2016, sheet mulched the old lawn area with cardboard while installing  central DG pathway.

November 2015, remove the undesirables and cut down the dying maple.


July 2015, a half dead green Japanese maple, a clump of Birds-of-Paradise, Rhododendron, Meyer Lemon, two red maples and three birch trees.
