Logs and filler were from a pine we cut down, pampas grass and various fallen branches, and lots of trimmed wisteria. There's a paper bark birch just off camera on the right along with a crepe myrtle.

The flowers are from on of those seed blankets. I didn't have time this year to cultivate perrenials so went with an easy colorful first year.

Eventually expanding this little garden to turn that side yard into a miniature native plant meadow.

Oh very interesting! Can you give some background about the hugulkultur bed? When did you make it? What kind of logs and how deep are they? Well rotted or more fresh? Is this the first year?

I’d not heard of hugelkultur before - interesting!

This was my first. I'd read about them in various gardening and permaculture posts, had the materials, and the result for essentially digging a ditch and filling it with yard waste was well worth it. It should help nourish the paper bark birch, dwarf arbor vitae, and crepe myrtle we have nearby for years to come.

Here's a picture from the other side to see the tree and shrubs.
