"Forest of dwarf spruce"
The 'Forest of Picea abies (dwarf Alberta spruce)" is at the top and one side of the rock garden that demarcates one end of the rock garden.
Plants
Martin House
Martin house on a pole sunk in concrete on the property when purchased. It is incorporated into the lower garden.
Mini Hypertufa Mountains
View showing mini mountains of hypertufa. As Ev was working by herself while her husband recovered from surgery, these replaced regular rocks. When the house was placed on the property, it would have blocked future rock delivery.
Rock Garden with Two Types of Mulch
Two types of mulch were used on this rock garden. We are looking up from the bottom of the garden with a Japanese maple on the left and woods in the background.

NARGS Sierra Wildflowers Expedition
Nargs is sponsoring a trip in July 2014 to explore the alpine flora of California in the Sierra Nevada.
One of the trip leaders is an experienced botanist Stew Winchester, who earlier led a trip to the Ruby Mountains for NARGS. This is a great opportunity to view summer wildflowers at their expected peak-blooming time.
