8/14/09 FINISHING THE WALL





Friday, 8:00 AM. 71 degrees, wind SSW, calm. The channel is glassy, the sky clear but hazy.
The planting of the Johnson’s wall went very well, all the plants looking good in spite of the heat. Lots of water in each planting hole and a light misting during the heat of the day did the trick.
The design purpose is to take a very awkward bank facing the house and make it appear natural and in scale with the restored residence, which is not suited to a great deal of formality. Using all native plants, the wall and plantings will create an anchor for softening and naturalizing the rest of the landscape.
