I planted water irises on the Glendon, the waste management system which consists of a small hill of sand over a tank of gravel and other components, in my Kingston garden. With the lawn curving around it, the mound looked like an intentional landscape design. So I had a hill of sand brought in opposite the Glendon. I planted it with grasses: oat grass, blood grass, leather grass, and the two mounds made up the entrance into my yard. I like curved designs, more lyrical, so the path wove between these mounds, around the brick patio and down to the front, birdfeeders, tall firs, natural habitat of salmon berry and fern, and beyond, the water.
