I have one question: did you do this in layers, with a sense of what you would do NEXT, or did you have a sense of the overall design you wanted to achieve? Oh, also, I absolutely love your patchwork brick and ground cover/herb patio area--it's beautiful. susantroccoloauthor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232991943865499133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-80113157582551633562015-01-14T14:29:54.841-08:002015-01-14T14:29:54.841-08:00Gorgeous, Grace!!!

I'm impressed but also a little frightened by the growth of that maple - I have the same variety planted awfully close to our garage. (Here maples have to have shade or they fry.)<br /><br />Best wishes with your presentation!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-16204821282995756752015-01-14T09:33:26.280-08:002015-01-14T09:33:26.280-08:00This is great to see the transformation!

How big some of the plants have gotten and what we no longer have. Trial and error on some plants. Gardening is like life. Some things work out and some things don't. It is always fun to see what you will bring to us next.
