Sunday Gardens 12/19/2021

My Sunday morning starter is a view from the Flat Garden looking towards Heavenly Falls. I shot this scene a lot but happily it was an ever changing scene and never quite looked the same.

Pile on with your own garden images if you have any.

Thanks for starting this Alan, that's a great view and you are correct, gardens never look the same from season to season or year to year.

I would like to be indulged again for some early garden images to show how my Spokane garden progressed. Last time I showed how it looked when I moved in. It took me 8 years to get to the pond stage which I will show in another post. Todays is from the 2nd or third year into the building of walls and steps.

The steps up to the central area

First wall in

Blocks for second wall

Second wall in, probably 3rd year

My back hurts just looking at the efforts required for this. Stunning results however. Not an easy piece of property to rework like this but it must have added a lot to the resale value of your Spokane house.

That B&B has a really nice looking patio area - especially with the blooms.

Beautiful scene from that garden. I have that garden pegged for a revisit if I ever get back to Vancouver Island.
