In my last post, I talked about the pathway and flower border along side our house. This post will show you the other side of the path. This side had leyland cypress along it (see August 28, 2016); this made it the perfect border back drop and wind break. But because they were diseased, we had to take them down. Although we had been planting small trees and shrubs on that side for awhile, we now had no backdrop for our border and no wind break either. We knew we eventually wanted a mixed border of flowers, shrubs, and small trees (no more large trees!), and so finally decided a berm with small hollies might be just what we needed.
