Spring 2007 Part II

Encouraged by our success with the bulb garden, we decided to tear up a good part of the rest of our yard. We built an island in the center of our yard for the centerpiece, a Star Magnolia.



Based on a drawing I had made when I first started sketching out how I wanted the yard to look, we built a curving, winding border along one side of the yard to extend the already existing bulb garden to a much more extensive flower bed.





We planted shrubs and an herb garden. A beautiful white clematis was climbing up the lattice. I added pansies around the bulbs for some more color. I gave some seeds a try: Zinnias, Poppies, Cosmos, Beans and Narcissus.

The yard was looking good in no time and we were ready for summer!
