A pair of 1 gallon Leyland cypress, above, would have to do. And time. Thru the arbor a cherry tree in full bloom with petals strewing the path.
A subtle focal point, my conifer arbor, is hidden near the pink dogwood, above. Gardens are about mystery & surprise. A sense of, What's around the corner?.
Conifers, $1.99 ea., bought at a big box store, can't remember which. Patience? Ugh. They looked stupid for years. But that Victorian woodcut wouldn't leave me.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

shocked to see a leyland cypress here but it looks lovely!
Patience-- I think the biggest factor in a garden, sadly.
you stubborn, patient, brilliant girl the thumb
Oh, dearest Scott, you caught me with the right word, stubborn. Wish it were 'brilliant'.
My garden has taught me patience, not that I wanted it to. Or is it aging?

I love the Zen view though the arbor. I'm with you all the way on the "no money" part. We have 4 leylands right now that are getting the job done 24/7 in rain or shine. One has been hanging in for more that 20 years despite the death of its 3 sisters.
