With children & 2 careers in full blossom construction slowed, and the garden almost halted.
Overwhelmed, he hired me to design the landscape. Loving gardens he was doing the work himself. Until,
his wife, in very serious tones, let him know the projects did, INDEED, have a completion date.
Do you know what love is? He hired a personal organizer. He also began subcontracting some of the landscape labor. Another gift of love for his wife; working in his garden is a joy to him, not labor. Alas, time.
Instead of an arbor for shade, crape myrtle's will soon cover the terrace. Flow & axis dictated the terrace have 2 entries.
A GARDEN PACK RAT he had a stash of Stone Mountain granite curbstones. They now step you down into a woodland garden, on axis from the stone terrace.
The garden is young and all areas are not this far along. Yes, I'll post more about this garden in the future. .
In a note, sent with these pictures, he wrote: A family that gardens together, grows together.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
