My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Shadowy Places ...

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

I know we all like bright pretty flowers in sunny places, but with all the rain and clouds we've been having I've come to enjoy my strolls though the shadowy almost dark places in the garden.

Come walk with me along the back trail ...

And wonder what's at the end of the green tunnel ...

As we pass through a 'fern grotto' ...

The blue gate opens ...


Back out into the sun with Limelight salvias ...

And welcome favorite garden visitors ...

Smiling with the sun even if it's raining ...

Thanks to Mizan for the happy sun face ...

Happy gardening everyone!
