May 16, 2010: After the New Garden is Planted

This project took us about two days to complete. I had about 5 cu ft of dirt (leaf compost) delivered from the borough for the foundation. We put down newspapers over the grass that was there, and then mounded the dirt on top. We also widened the path with paving stones, added a stepping stone path back to the gas meter, mulched around the tree, rearranged the stones around the driveway. The whole project cost about $300 for all the plants/dirt etc. Many of the plants came from Mama's garden.

View from the driveway(you can see the stones around the driveway have been rearranged) :
