yes or no ... ring of flowers and plants around a tree?
i was thinking of some flowering ground cover, maybe a few summer bulbs, some hostas maybe. nothing invasive to fight with the roots of the tree.
BUT ... i was looking for plan ideas on some gardening sites, and the all said tree rings are no-nos, that they look amateurish. but i am an amateur ... so, do i care??? when you see tree rings do you scoff ???
Re: yes or no ... ring of flowers and plants around a tree?
Some look contrived, others look more natural.
Do what makes you happy. Do you really care what "they" say?

Are you planting a new tree? If not, is your tree already in a tree ring?
If it's an existing tree not in a tree ring, then you can't add the extra soil, especially around the base of the tree/up the trunk.
Personally, we have a tree that the previous owners planted in a tree ring & we can't take the ring away w/out exposing roots. So, i've planted some bulbs & the like under it.
