Jim Toney's Gardening Page
I was working on transforming my back yard into an Asian-themed garden, until I had to relocate.  To see a layout of my garden plan, click here.

Key features of the garden design:
-Use of trees, shrubs and bamboo in lieu of a fence to provide enclosure
-Use of pathway along the diagonal to divide the space and make it appear larger
-Dry creek bed running down the slope into gravel pond to suggest water
-Rock and shrub composition near house suggests a distant mountain range
