Remember this is where we started (Our New Home ~ The Outside Before and Cleaning Up The Left Side Yard )
And, now, we have this!
We have 1 fountain because we are 1 family, 5 phlox plants because we have 5 children, 3 hosta plants because we have 3 boys, 2 candy tuft plants because we have 2 girls, 7 geranium plants and 7 rocks because there are 7 in our family. We built the retaining wall 5 ft. x 25 ft. We built it to meet the old brick stone that was already there and to go along the grain of the slope. Of course, when I was planning, I was looking visually. But, when we measured the actual space, I was excited and I knew those were the numbers that we would use because we have 5 children and have been married 25 years. Sometimes, these things just work out all by themselves.
After, clearing, digging, and planting we decided to build a retaining wall
to keep the dirt and water from running down the slope.
We will post side porch pictures with a larger view of the rock garden soon!
You will get to see what a difference a little clean up and paint can do for a space!
Thanks for visiting Our Family Inspired Home!
