We are always looking for new ideas. Next year we will have the class build a Fairy Garden and display it in the lobby where all the various classes can see an example of what we do. Thanks much, Eddie Rhoades & Ivan Tatum.

 

]]> Comment on Narrow Side Yard Makeover! by Linda Peterson http://edenmakersblog.com/?p=893&cpage=2#comment-490690 Linda Peterson Sat, 11 May 2013 21:25:14 +0000 http://edenmakersblog.com/?p=893#comment-490690 I love this side yard as a special Sectret Garden. It adds value to the home. I plan on using it as a model, although we have 3 AC units and the pool equipment in our skinny side yard. I wonder how tall, wide and deep the arch is and where one would source a quality archway like this? The stucco wall and fountain lends itself so well to the European feeling of this pretty path. Imagine the delight a child would have at discovering this jewel! Good job, wish you did work in Houston!

How nice of you to drop by!! Hope you are doing great.

I agree, cacti flowers are amazing and if you didn’t see them blooming on the plant, it would be hard to believe they are from these tough plants!
