Hope you're all happy in your gardens!

I am at a loss trying to figure out what to plant
underneath a friend's pine tree. The ideas I found
are not Med-plants oriented. I could go with pacific
northwest natives, but the bed next to it is more
Med-like. The two beds are separated by a staircase
and have a decent slope!

Any ideas are much appreciated!!!!

Thanks!
