Jim Hoose of Pennsylvania focuses on bright focal points and texture in his garden .
" The bulk of my garden is an early spring one . Many of the plants ask to be shade tolerant since by mid May there is a high-pitched shade natural covering from the deciduous tree that trace the garden area . I ’m always look for texture in my plantings as well as the welcome little burst of luminousness . The garden is in Easton , PA . "
