I started after a wind storm, raking out the debris under the cedar. Then I dug out the grass. I then replaced the poor topsoil and dug in stepping stones. Heavy stepping stones!
The finished picture shows a variety of Hostas, trilliums, Arisaemas, Paris,Orchids, Hipaticas and ferns. I planted Bunchberry for all the plants to grow through it's carpet. Than I mulched. I took the finished picture from a low angle for a better view of the plants since they had not filled in yet.

You're hired. 
. I did have some frost damage on a few hostas, my Lederhosen took it badly. For some reason, the standing water on the leaves of the Lederhosen layed them flat on the ground overnight, caused a bleaching effect. The leaves looked white like frost bite. I cut them off and left the newer leaves that were off the ground.
(couldn't resist!)
