Japanese Landscapes
A Buddha head presides in this fence-framed section of the garden. Most of the plants added by Farndale are perennials, including coneflower (Echinacea), sea holly (Eryngium), orchids (Bletilla), blackberry lilies (Belamcanda), Fritillaria, Mukdenia, Vancouveria, Dodecatheon and many others. “We attempted to use as many native plant materials as possible, or at least plants that can withstand dry summers. Our soils are very sandy and loamy, and can dry out very quickly.” he says.
A wooden-plank pathway leads visitors through the garden in zigzag fashion. To add to the garden’s Zen atmosphere, a network of stone and wood-plank pathways lead to areas of meditation, including a fence-framed sanctuary where a stone Buddha head presides and a sculptural fountain made of concrete by the entryway
Water flows from a sculptural fountain into an underground reservoir. All that remains of the former yard are a few spirea, rhododendrons and maple trees. The grass is completely gone and replaced by a colorful palette of native plants carefully selected by Farndale to thrive in the Pacific Northwest climate. A lace-leaf Japanese maple that was crowding his front door was moved about 20 feet away from the house towards the street, where its beautiful Bonsai-like form can be fully appreciated.
textures. Japanese Maples Garden
Japanese maple garden
landscape has a sense of flow, of unfolding, of mysteries revealed so the swirls and circles became the inspiration . Deep beds filled with Euphorbia, Lavender, Geranium, Coreopsis, Salvia, and Hakonechloa grass. They sing with blues, purples and yellows. This composition creates a strong flow. Size, shape and color of the two Japanese Maples create a backdrop to the Hakonechloa grass and Geranium Roxanne. Slender branches of the Amelanchier tree give composition, a vertical line leading upward in the foreground.
