Whenever I have a planting scheme to consider the first thing I do is walk around the neighborhood. I take my digital camera and shoot pictures of the plants that appeal to me. It is a good way to get ideas of how to place your plants, seeing what others have had success with. I try to take 3 photos, 1st long distance, 2nd close up (maybe 10 feet away) and last details of foilage or flowers for indentification (if I don't know the plant). If you knock on someones door to ask questions they usually are flattered to have your interest, compliments work wonders with most humans. I have been invited into many gardens for a cool drink and coversation with some very knowledgable folks.

For enclosure I like to build things, must be a guy thing. I used curved lattice corners on this job up in Minnesota a few years back.
