So, what have I done in the yard over the last 5 months? Created what I lovingly refer to as my “rescue” garden. We buy houses for a living and I have started rescuing both plants and yard art from yards we plan to tear out and restore. Following are some of my start to this-is-where-it-is-so-far photos:
I started with a section that was very desolate.
Nothing but determination at the start!
Started with shade loving hostas last year.
Spring 2013 – ready for love and attention
A plan and design were needed to start.
I lay out a path with sticks.
Divided hostas and brought in more “rescued” plants.
Mulch gives it definition.
But wait! There’s more!
I decide to take it all the way to the house.
That’s a lot more yard…
Rescued stones create a path.
Fill in with gravel.
Add edging and gravel.
