Today I got to take a trip to Napa Valley. Not the Napa Valley that’s making your mouth salivating right now….not the Napa Valley that offers “grape punch” beyond your taste buds’ dreams. No, I’m talking about the Napa Valley located just south of Waukee, nestled in a little piece of Iowa’s heaven. These people got it growing on! Here’s just a sample of the spring awakening in their landscapes:
Gro-Low Sumac underlying the Crabapple and amplifying the bed's edge
Gro-Low Sumac underlying Staghorn Sumac at the same residence
Giant patch of Ligularia basking in its shady glory
Ligularia patch on the opposite side of the drive
Pathway thru Dwarf Korean Lilacs and Ajuga
Mass plantings of Ajuga and Japanese Painted Fern
And finally..the one piece of Napa Valley that made me stop dead in my rubber tracks was this lil hut. Too bad I couldn’t get a closer look
Lil garden hut...at least that's what I'm imagining.....Happy Planting!
How beautiful! I planted low-grow sumac last year, it’s doing well. I loved the little yellow fragrant blooms this spring. Love the little hut…I’m thinking guest house? Studio? You’re probably right, garden hut!
