Front garden gets a new makeover
Putting in a bottle border
Placing pavers from a salvage yard
Love the round pattern!
Coming together! Second hand patio set from my Grandmere
Over these past few weeks, the front yard garden has gone through an extreme makeover. Thanks to a local salvage yard and a second hand patio set, we’ve transformed a “garden space” into a “people space.”
Farm Stand customers are always saying how they would love to sit in the garden and enjoy the sights, smells and sounds. Thanks to the quick and creative work from our gardeners, Front Porch Farm Stand Customers now have their wish! Of course, we aren’t done yet! Plans are to have a friend make an arbor that will support a climbing rose. MMMMM. I can just envision sipping tea surrounded by the scent of roses, jasmine and herbs. Divine.

January 30, 2012 at 10:09 amThanks to one of your posts about putting in a blue wine bottle border, I started a wine bottle border in my front yard. I can’t drink wine because it gives me a headache, but that’s okay, because everyone around here saves their empties for me, and I must have hundreds by now. So far, my border snakes abound on the inside of my picket fence. It’s all curves, as putting them in a straight line just didn’t work out. The more colors the prettier it is. It’s a work in process, as I only put in around 10 each weekend. I have alot of weeds and roots to dig out, so getting them inserted can be time consuming. Alot of people that see my border, think it’s a great idea. It is certainly a pretty way to recycle.
Your front yard looks beautiful. Something for me to work towards. Thank you, Nancy R
