One of two gardens that I can see from a window, this one is prominent from the kitchen breakfast nook. Because of the septic drainfield located there, I chose shallow-rooted azaleas and rhododendrons for this area. Pastel colors of light pink and shades of purple dominate the area, the same colors found in the Cotton Candy we ate as children at the Fair.

	Azaleas and rhododendrons welcome you to the woodland garden.		Mist softens the garden.
	Birds love a water source that is close to the ground.		Agarista populifolia, formerly Leucothoe, is an incredible evergreen native shrub. Tolerant of dry shade and deer resistent, it grows 6-7' tall and flowers in May.
	Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Flake' has prominent fully double blooms that make a giant white flowerhead in June.		A pink azalea seems so soft when placed behind a metal bench.
	Rhododendron 'A. Bedford' is a purple addition to the Cotton Candy Garden.		Ferns and Iris tectorum (Japanese Roof Iris) are beautiful companions to Rhododendron 'Anna Rose Whitley'.
	Cyclaman hederifolium blooms in early fall before the marbled leaves appear for the winter.		Camellia 'Grace Albritton'
