Project Complete!

After several months, I have finally finished my garden. The last steps, after plant selection, were laying down the gravel, finding some appropriate planters and and some additional arrangements. There are a few things I will probably get to when time permits; painting the large planters for example, but for now I consider this a project complete.

I have to say that I am pretty pleased overall and while the final product is definitely different that what I first had in mind, I think the changes in direction along the way improved the overall experience.

I added a wood bench on my deck and that’s created a nice sitting area for two which my wife and I have enjoyed.  I must admit an 18 year old Jameson’s whiskey and a half hour, twilight session in my garden is pretty relaxing.

Here are some photos of the finished product…..
