CREATING GARDEN SITTING AREA ON A SLOPE

SPO's home & garden are less than 1 year old. Already SPO is adding to her landscape. A sitting area for the frontyard where shade pools in late afternoon.

I designed SPO's landscape before she moved in. Summer & drought pushing shrubs & trees to fall planting.

Slight slope, below, 4 stone steps to a small stone terrace dug into the slope + 2 Adirondack chairs.

Playing, above, with exact scale: chairs, flags, string. Most plans drawn to scale say +/- 5'. Not good enough. (Note: string is superior to garden hose or spray paint; easily moved and laying exactly as placed.)

SPO served lunch.

SPO & her husband CAPE COD shared photos, she's from Croatia.

Yes, you do want to know how delicious this trifle was!!

.

SPO shares something quite special with me beyond her garden, books, movies, home, cooking & laughter. Her dear ZARKO.

.

I will tell you of ZARKO tomorrow.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
