This is not my garden, but I walk by it approximately 400 times per year. And every time I wince.
Every year these people plant something new between their two spruce trees. Every year that something dies. And I won't even go into the problems of rock mulch and little circles around the bottom of spruce trees. Ew. These people need help! For the cost of hiring a garden coach for one hour they could have saved themselves a lot of money on cedars and countless other poor, tortured shrubs!

What to plant under a spruce tree?
Of gardens such as these, I like to say that the gardener has a different style than I do.
