Piled a mound of imported soil onto the existing grass covering sand, pebbles and earth. On the east side it is bounded by a chip mulch path over a big spruce root and on the south and west sides by pebble paths. The big rock at the north end was a gift and was moved into place with his cherry picker by the doner. This is the sunniest bed in the garden.
Photos: Bird’s eye views April and mid-May; view from South in June; east side August.
rainymountain's 7. Centre garden is an outdoor organic garden located in Revelstoke BC, Canada and currently contains 79 plants.
This is a Flower garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 5b. It has mainly Combination soil and receives Full Sun light.Photos
