Garden Spaces

 When we moved into our house just over three years ago, our little back yard had a huge space carved out of it that was the base of an above ground pool.  Tamped down dirt!  What to do with it.  The first year not much happened, but the second year we had a plan!

With the help of our son, fresh dirt was mounded up as a Father's Day gift.  Shaped in a circle, it was bordered off with ornamental bricks.  And then the planting began with an evergreen tree at the top of the mount.  Little by little it has been filling up with bushes,  plants, birdbaths, whirligig and a walkway.

It's come a long way since spring of 2018!!

Not a whole lot of room left, but we will be filling it up even more.  I added some black-eyed Susans and coneflowers this year for some color.  Probably won't take off 'til next summer tho.
