Garden Design

Here are some details of my biggest garden change from last year, actually changing the shape of my flower beds and planning what should go where!  It was fun deciding where to put flowers, and I love the fluidity of the new shape.  Here's what I started with:

I have a few hopes for this year.  I really hope the peony bush lives and even blooms, I got it in kind of late last year.  I hope the hydrangea starts to grow taller.  I got the bushes free from work and they may be some kind of miniature thing that stays short, we'll see I guess if I need to buy real bushes. =)  And finally, if the clematis doesn't do well there I need to move it and get something else tall... or maybe a hanging basket from that side.  I'll post a pic and you'll see what I'm talking about, it just needs some height there!
