This is my garden on February 7th 2018 as seen from my front porch. I know some of you may have been perplexed by this. What if I told you it was a monumental earth work. What if I told you it was meant to be viewed as a painting from above. What if I said this was landscape design of another kind.

What if I told you it was a garden as a work of art. That plants are the paint. What if I told you it was planted directly into the existing native herbaceous vegetation beginning ten years ago. That this still existing wildflower dominant vegetation is the primary garden of summer. What if I told you it was an amazing feat of horticulture, the dance between nature and good garden maintenance staying true to the land.

What if I mentioned the Nazca Lines of Peru. Would it make more sense?

It is still a work in progress. Unfortunately I may finally be forced to buy some rocks to finish my heiau. All the other rocks were here.
