peonies, hostas, and roses
black-eyed susans, evening primrose, coreopsis (moonbeam)
lots of paths to connect all these things and numerous sitting or gathering areas to stop and enjoy it all
most of this stuff is inside a fence (with 5 gates to the 'outside world') that uses the old road sign posts from many Walker Lake intersections
outside the fence there are 8 different varieties of bamboo, blue spruce, and running experiments of things from inside the fence to see which ones survive the salad bar
And despite all that, most of the 2.1 acres remains native woodland.

What follows is a few random photos that I'll add to as the season progresses, but it takes a whole year of actually being here to experience the full magnitude of this garden.
