    This will be the beginning of the new garden up hill from my house. That's actually the back yard. It should be taking shape by next weekend. I have many plants already.

    Looks like a great feature to build a garden around.

    Very spacious, It can be a better garden if it is well maintained and well structured.

    Roll on next week-end so that we can see what plants you're putting in. The fountain is going to be a lovely centrepiece Barb. :-D

    We got 25 yards of mulch that will be put in the gardens next week. We will probably need 50 more yards after that. When that's all done I will take pics. Then you all will see how they stand out plus the electric will be in for the fountain.

    The fountain will be filled and started when the mulch gets done. We should start that this weekend.

    Back to my new fountain. We are mulching all over the place. Now we have to add plants as I find what I like or if I divide or start something.

    The 3rd and 4th from the bottom is all the grass in the "up" piece of property. One shot is the big greenhouse direction and the other is toward my home. This fountain is about 130 feet from the home.

    These gardens will get deeper as time goes by. It's just going to be expensive filling them as it is.

    Barb, That is a beautiful fountain! I like the layout that you have done. Your gardens will become more and more beautiful over time as they fill in.
