My peonies are quite a distance from the trees. There is a long expanse of lawn in between.

Yes, it's a bit daunting to design when you see everything all at once. Vignettes get lost, only the overview counts. But without the subtleties, it could look like an industrial park, lol, so I keep at it. That's actually the fun of it, to keep working on the big picture, and still tuck in the little surprises along the way. The palette keeps evolving as I go, always trying to punch it up without creating chaos.

And I do indulge myself- there's a section I think of as a White Garden, lots of silver foliage but rather a lot of lavender and blue flowers as well as white, and last year I started a Blue Garden down below.
