Why did I EVER pay attention to gardens with mulch? Mulch is brown, mulch is dead, mulch is expensive, mulch is labor intensive.
Evergreen spreading groundcovers take care of ME. I don't take care of them.
(This is the mature attitude to take.)

Pics taken last month in a client garden. Once shaped I walk out of the garden to view then walk/meander in the garden from all angles. Many times I need to go upstairs and look down at shaped beds.

I take my time to shape beds for groundcovers or gravel. Bedlines are HUGE to what your eye sees in a garden.

Bed lines (or lines of one plant mass to another mass) are so crucial.
Jeez...to think I was almost ready to brave weeding my dry creek- now I've got snakes on the brain again! I do love all the edging ideas, lots of great stuff here.
Hope you're having fun playing with the watercolors!
