Elledee's Large Lawn garden

Created on Friday, 04 Jul 08

Am carving out a large garden in my front yard. There is already one large tree and I’ve been adding bushes/shrubs over the past couple of years. Today I decided to start shaping it and digging out the grass. I’ll boost up the shrubs/trees with some potting soil. Am leaving a space for a brick and/or stone patio and some pathways for interest.
