Donna, we cptd our home in the fall of 89' so 90' was our first gardening 
season.  I retired in Jun 92' but worked for Deere as a consultant for almost a 
full year after retiring so 93' was really the beginning.  I rcd a Rita Tarr 
Landscape Design Award in 96' and I am thinking of reapplying next year which 
will be a 10 yr anniversary just as a comparison.  To apply you must create a 
booklet of full details on your garden & then it is visited & judged by 3 
Landscape Design Consultants.  I am a plant collector as I think most of you are. I 
know the design elements but due to space & my addiction plants are not in 
drifts however I do have areas where I have used plants in repetition.
    Photography is not a skill or interest of mine so I have no idea how she 
did the panoramic photo but I do know she was not off the ground.
    I wish the photos had been taken after the limestone walkway was added in 
the front.  I really like it.  I decided to add that after hearing Gordon 
Hayward speak on entrance gardens and reading his book.
