5847 Waterman GUIDEON RICHESON Challenges to gardening: silver maple shade and three dogs. Successful solutions in 5 years: (1) Colorful canine-proof shrubs: rhododendron, buddleia and burning bush; (2) Shade-loving hosta and other hardy perennials in beds behind low wrought iron fences; (3) Lots of hanging containers on the fern-bedecked double story back porches and tradescantia accenting the brick seating area to the rear; (4) Sturdy garden benches replacing the more usual furniture or porch railings; (5) A half-dozen 5 to 7 foot trellis providing a repeat thematic element that is both architecturally interesting and practical.
