This is why we have no professional hardscape! Between the expense and at first being unsure whether the garden design layout would work as planned - I just sort of tackled a project whenever I had time Oh I do have a gravel mini patio surrounded by mosaic pavers that were a creative and colorful DIY project many summers ago. There is a circular gravel seating area in the Secret Garden with border stones. In the past two years I managed a few essential walkways (with free pavers from my neighbor) so there is less mud in the house and also because they are painted white and sealed which is perfect for walking in the garden after dark. The latest project this spring was a rather cool looking "hopscotch-layout" pathway covered by three (existing) big arches leading to the old gazebo. My first project was an enclosed Potager, all gravel except for some ornamental mosaic stones to delineate the space and give some color and interest in the winter. The potager has a four square inner paver path surronded by a double row of border stones used for window boxes or pots. Later on I decided to expand and now there is a wide path surrounding the initial veggie/flower/herb garden and I'm using the low outer wall for window boxes and containers with trellises along two and a half sides. Later I splurged on a white Arbor for the entrance - now covered with scented Jasmine and a red passion flower. Like you said - you are delusional if you think all this happens in a year or two. I'm guessing there will be a few more projects, one I'm already planning for the new tropical garden - still percolating ideas for that project. I think it is what true, passionate gardeners do without a second thought because for us it isn't really work:). I can relate on the plant nerd - one can never have too many plants and there is always something new to learn or discover. You guys did an awesome job preserving a wonderful established garden and giving it a new life. Subscribed!

Our story is similar in that our century home needed a complete renovation and the "garden" began as a tiny triangular bed of orange poppies and a square mailbox patch of weeds which turned into a large cottage garden with a curved, brick pathway and gazebo. When the garden became too much for me to care for with chronic pain, we discovered sheet mulching, hydrangeas, and David Austin roses. My current project is adding perennials with a color palette of purple, peach, magenta, and Forget-Me-Not blue. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!

I was living with our son, Daniel. He is a quadriplegic, completely paralyzed from the neck down. He is now incredibly independent - has a job, owns a home, manages his own caregivers, and all the things other adults do. That does not happen overnight! We knew he was close to living on his own when we bought the house ... just not quite. Now we serve as deep back-up and have dinner with him much of the time.
