I was the lucky raffle winner of Colin Lewis' demonstration planting at
Mid-Atlantic last weekend. Colin created a fascinating study in
perspective. He planted two slabs. The rear slab was just planted at the
back with small Korean hornbeams. Another slab was planted with a large
(approx. 14" tall) specimen, a smaller principal tree (around 9") and
some smaller trees. This slab was placed atop the front edge of the
other slab. The final effect was similar to the drawing Colin made at
the beginning of the presentation. The viewer sees the large trees as
quite close, framing the far view of the rear slab trees. The sense of
space is very dramatic.

I hope to post some pics soon on the Gallery. If anyone has any photos
of the demonstration as it was taking place, I'd really appreciate
getting copies.
Thanks in advance,
