“Meadow Transition”
Heatherwood Fall
This section of our lower Heatherwood garden provides a layered transition from the perennial meadow to a specimen tree area. It divides our eastern and western lower garden areas. Perennials like the Karl Forster grasses and yarrow transition to deciduous shrubs (elderberries, red twig dogwoods, and yellow twig dogwoods) then to background evergreen junipers and pines. The various structure, texture, and color provide interesting contrasts.
