Landscapes evolve, climate changes, and what once thrived in your outdoor space will suddenly no longer survive. For an added challenge, some of us choose to move to new locations and face learning how to garden in a completely new environment. Jo Ann Sarlese in Tacoma, Washington (Zone 8) is one of those ambitious gardeners. We were first introduced to Jo Ann\u2019s garden a couple of years ago (Check out that submission: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/a-socal-gardener-in-the-pacific-northwest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A SoCal Gardener in the Pacific Northwest<\/a>) and only four years after she made the move from Southern California. Today she is finally back to share how her landscape has evolved since then and how she continues to learn from her gorgeous new garden oasis.<\/p>\n<p><em>It has been 6 years since we moved from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest and I am continually learning how to garden up here, more often by trial and error! The back yard is multi leveled, sloping downward from the house and from the left side to the right. There is a waterfall in the center which flows into three different ponds, with the largest pond being the last. The yard has several gardens, each defined by the pond, pathways and retaining walls. Every year is still new. After all this time there are still surprises. Something blooms that didn\u2019t before. There are many iris plants that have been nothing more the a few sword leaves sticking out of the ground. This is the first time they have bloomed in all kinds of colors. This has been the best spring yet. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what surprises summer will bring.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191420\/GPOD-Sarlese-1-mermaid-garden.jpg\"><\/a><em>Mermaid garden had fading pink tulips and eastern pasqueflower (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/genus\/pulsatilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pulsatilla<\/a> patens<em>, Zones 3\u20137), a pretty volunteer, overlooking the upper pond under the waterfall.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191422\/GPOD-Sarlese-2-garden-pond-in-spring.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-231411\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191422\/GPOD-Sarlese-2-garden-pond-in-spring.jpg\" alt=\"pond in spring garden\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191422\/GPOD-Sarlese-2-garden-pond-in-spring.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191422\/GPOD-Sarlese-2-garden-pond-in-spring-700x840.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191422\/GPOD-Sarlese-2-garden-pond-in-spring-768x922.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/a><em>Pond overlook features the paperbark maple<\/em> <em>(<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/genus\/acer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acer<\/a> griseum<em>, Zones 4\u20138)<\/em> <em>with candytuft<\/em> <em>(<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/genus\/iberis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iberis<\/a> sempervirens<em>, Zones 3\u20138)<\/em> <em>at the base, Japanese iris<\/em> <em>(<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/genus\/iris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iris<\/a> ensata<em>, Zones 4\u20139), Waterfall maple<\/em> <em>(<\/em>Acer palmatum<em> var. <\/em>dissectum<em> \u2018Waterfall\u2019<\/em><em>, Zones 5\u20138)<\/em> <em>to the left, and tulips and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/genus\/rhododendron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rhododendrons<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191425\/GPOD-Sarlese-3-large-garden-pond.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-231412\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191425\/GPOD-Sarlese-3-large-garden-pond.jpg\" alt=\"large garden pond\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191425\/GPOD-Sarlese-3-large-garden-pond.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191425\/GPOD-Sarlese-3-large-garden-pond-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01191425\/GPOD-Sarlese-3-large-garden-pond-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/a><em>Another view of the larger pond.
