I searched for and found some pictures from 2010, a couple years after the garage was built and the Zen Garden was still in its infancy. At that time I never had any intention of expanding the garden along the east side of the garage. I simply laid a lot of pea stone and planned to use it as an extension of the driveway to park a popup camper we owned at that time. Once I sold the camper after 2012, I slowly started to plant the area and eventually it became two separate gardens - the East Gate Stroll Garden and the Viewing Garden.
Here are the before and after images:

It's crazy to see the transformation. I would like to say I am done with this area, but one just never knows.
I love before and after pictures. They give you such a good idea of how much work and planning have gone into the present situation.
ReplyDeleteNo, I bet you are not finished with this area. Gardens are never really finished and that is one of the most interesting things about them.
