Family garden

Family wanted to offer their children more interesting garden spaces, improve the "gardenability" for learners, and increase the efficiency of their edible garden spaces.
Project Year: 2015
Project Cost: $10,001 - $25,000
Country: Canada
Left the tiniest path of turf, and a mini-picnic space under the Rose of Sharon. Amelanchier (Saskatoon berry) in the centre offers a little privacy for the new patio and the front of house office window.
Family garden
Blueberry bushes surround the gravel path.
Family garden
New semi-circular patio (only 6' radius) paved in random flagstones complements the stonework on the pillars.
Family garden
Drought tolerant boulevard plantings.
Family garden
4' x 5' space for water feature; fairy garden behind isn't shown.
Family garden
Corrugated steel 4' x 6' raised vegetable beds, 14" high, with edging convenient for sitting or kneeling.
Family garden
Very simple three-legged pergola opens up into the rest of the garden. The budget didn't extend to the original plan of saw-cutting the concrete into random rectangles with planting spaces between for mondo grass.
Family garden
Dark entryway, ineffective shrub border, overgrown Rose of Sharon, and very mossy grass despite the south exposure.
Family garden
Clients wanted to replace the turf with some alternative and make it all more child-friendly
Family garden
The view from the porch was boring, but gave great visibility for when the kids were playing on the swing set.
Family garden
Backyard was a sea of concrete and lawn, with a semi-wasted vegetable garden that was too large and difficult to navigate.
