Microclimates
Many world-renowned gardens utilize both natural and manipulated microclimates to achieve drama and beauty. Designers of Sissinghurst Castle Gardens in Kent, England and Butterstream Gardens, in County Meath, The Irish Republic exploited existing structures like old brick walls and buildings along with natural influences such as compass direction, water, and large trees. The Isle of Wight surrounded by waters of the Solent is a "working example" of bodies of water influencing a regional or neighborhood microclimate.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Kalmia
Kalmia, or Mountain Laurel, is one plant whose buds are just as neat and lovely as the open flowers. Sometimes the buds are a completely different color from the open flower, and since the flowers don’t open all at one time, the effect can be very lively. It is one of the most beautiful of native U.S. shrubs in flower.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Hollies
Hollies (Ilex) belong to the family Aquifoliaceae. There are over 350 species native to North America, Europe, Africa, Australia, the Orient and Brazil. They range in size from dwarf shrubs to huge trees. Both evergreen and deciduous ones are readily available from local nurseries and by mail order. The evergreen varieties are the most useful as ‘bones’ for the garden. Many will also provide the added bonus of berries, which can be red or yellow.
