A few weeks ago I went to check in on a city garden we installed a decade ago. At the time, at the request of the client, we only put in two tiny sections of turf in a large lot (60' x 125') where the house sits on the back sixth. The clients tired of the turf and a few years ago we replaced those sections with perennials. Did I mention the rabbits? And more rabbits?
Through the branch of a crab apple, above you can see grasses, onions, mints and some barren strawberry. Below is an ornamental thyme. The white pine was around 6' when planted: now it covers the neighbors' third floor porch. Plant small and the trees will grow faster since they won't have to endure as much transplant shock.

We've watched our neighbor's white pines over the last 8-10 years and the growth rate is pretty amazing. Is that calamintha with the white flowers? It all looks lovely.
Yes, Calamintha: good eye! But it does attract bees galore so site it away from where people gather.
