Our newest garden area: a former grassy field has been transformed by a gazebo surrounded by small gardens and pathways. Less grass to cut and surely easy on the eyes!This first picture taken in April is of the "naked" garden areas, ready for planting. . .
This was my first-ever experience at doing it all, from laying the bricks and gravel paths, to planning then digging the gardens, hauling lots of compost to amend the soil, to setting the borders, to doing the actual planting. There's color for every part of the growing season! The rest of the pictures were taken a few days ago; all planting is done for this year and there's room for more next year.
Of course we're not finished: there are more areas to be transformed. Saving that for another time; Rome wasn't built in a day, right?
Campers want to know what the plants are, so I've placed labels for the more unusual things we have growing. This sparks so many nice conversations with our visitors!
They're surprised to see we have herbs scattered among the flowers. . . 
And these final few pictures are of some very happy faces!
