Nice display area, Judy. I like the varying height of the stands. It adds visual interest. Good job on the benches and the trees.

Nice collection and great pots too.
This was a long term project for me, to scale down, and ramp up the quality. And to match trees with proper pots that enhance the image, rather than become the focus. This for me was difficult and I'm still learning.

Ditto on the ticket....
Chillen in the thicket.

You ever think about going olive on that super vigorous beech?

Do it some more justice with a few more pictures of the actual full structures, they are pro and you should be proud of them ;)

No offence, but the hubby deserves an "atta' boy" smack on the tushy!!
Great job on the benches, boxes, frame.....basically anything wood!!
Hats off to the fella' whom got @JudyB to say, "I do"......:p
Wonder if he had any idea what his "I do" was going to entail?:eek::rolleyes::D

Raintree already outside? Lucky. Nights still in the low forties here and mine doesn't seem to appreciate that type of temp:(

Yes Lance, he is a good guy, and we are both lucky! I design stuff and he builds it... He gets new tools and I get new benches. :D
@GrimLore I'll take some good shots of the whole deal soon and post em up.
Here are a few more of individuals. New clump hornbeam, the cork elm I kicked out of the koyo pot to put the hornbeam in, and a couple of my stewartia. It's putting on buds for flowers...

Great tour and trees. Thanks. What are sticking off the bottom of the overhead beams? Misters or lights?

What a fantastic collection, and the benches are so well done... a great space, and on a fairly flat lot to boot!!
Thanks Dave, my favorite benches are the ones not shown here under the watering system shot. I don't put trees there until the weather is more stable. This part of the property is actually the top part of a hill. We put the house there, but the property is rolling hills. I have an orchard at the bottom on one side, and a large garden and a big open field on the other side. We got lucky with this property to find it when land prices were low.

Here's a (poor quality) pic of the other area last year. The unattached benches were rebuilt to match the row benches, so they blend now. Also another shot of the sunny area benches, from an angle above, I love how they seem to float.

Well I can't seem to load the picture of the other benches where I am today. I'll try again later...
