Let's take a look at the frozen landscape that is our new learning garden.

The west edge of the garden along the path that takes you to  Camp Rivendale. The stake on the far left is the north-western corner of the garden.

North-East Corner

The stake at the far left is the south-western tip of the garden

Starting with the north-east corner, this 25'x15' plot will demonstrate water-efficient landscaping. By choosing appropriate plants and preparing the soil properly we will create an ornamental garden that will look good for most of the year and, once established, require little to no supplemental water during the summer.  This is the plan:

Water-efficient Garden

The dashed line on the north and east sides show the deer fence that will be installed before the planting is done. Unfortunately deer are a problem and there will be no garden without a deer fence. Full name of the plants in the plan:

a	Arbutus Unedo 'Compacta' (Strawberry tree); Elfin King is dwarf variety
a1	Arbutus Unedo (Regular size)
b	Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition'
c	Rocky Mountain Juniper
d	Cistus 'Elma'
e	Salvia 'UC Pink'
h	Ceanothus 'Blue Sierra'
i	Hebe odora 'New Zealand Gold'
j	Choisya ternata
k	Manzanita ?? (low wide sculptural)
l	Zauschneria
f	Camellia Sasanqua 'Apple Blossom'
g	Dwarf Pumbago

South of the water-efficient garden is the 10' wide gravel path that will be used to bring materials into the garden. South of that is the raised bed vegetable garden. This garden will grow primarily edibles, year-round, using a variety of raised beds in terms of sizes, materials, accessibility to user, etc. There will be a plan in place to rotate crops, manage weeds, provide for beneficial insects, water efficiently, and make the whole thing look attractive as well! Here is the plan:

I'll put in the rest of the plans as they become available.
