What do you see?

The photos show what I encountered when I took the job as the landscape gardener on this property.  I do respect the people who planted everything, and am sure they loved the planting process.  I learned quickly that plants grow into each other if not pruned or divided in a timely fashion.  Weeds and grass can take over a garden area, also.  So... digging out, dividing, cutting down, pruning, moving, weeding, and mulching were the main activities the first couple of years on the job.  Prioritizing what to do was challenging because it's a public place, and I had to groom areas that people frequently visited along with this mess.  

 Because there were so many types of plants and weeds in an area, I sometimes accidentally got the two categories mixed up.  I grew weeds and pulled flowers!!
