theodorad's West Side garden

Garden Type: Flower | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay

Circa 2008: The west side of the house looked T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.
Dead azaleas, random saplings and the huge weigela that was WAY too big for that space so

It’s all gone now, and replaced with a bunch of deer resistant shrubs and perennials.
