Would you mind sharing the dimensions of your garden, the garden beds and the bed outside the garden fence? Very inspirational! ❤

[@ThymeToGarden1975]

Thank you so much! Garden dimensions (fence to fence) is 25' x 30', the outer garden bed is 2' deep, inside the fence the L shaped bed measures 20' in total length (one side is 9' the other 11') and is 2.5' deep, the 4 inner beds are 6' x 3' and the longer outer beds(not L shaped are 8' x 2.5'. The main pathways are 4' wide and pathways between the beds is 2.5'. Hope this makes sense. Thank you for your kind message, you made my day!😊

Just discovered your channel. Beautiful garden. I moved back to Indiana after living in Suwanee, GA, zone 8 for 35 years. …..regret leaving my gardens. Starting all over in a new house w/ very little yard & a huge slope back area. Trying to figure out how to fence off my side garden area since visible from street that is visually appealing. Really like your set up, but I cannot put up an exterior fence bc of HOA rules…(hate Indiana so far) to help ward off Thumper and friends. I saw these fence panels on Lowe’s site. May go this route & put chicken wire on interior….a lot of hard work. But, I imagine you are like me, clears my head. I just wish I had some help. Blessings and Happy Gardening.

[@ThymeToGarden1975]

Oh no Dawn! So sorry you had to leave your garden in GA. 😥 We’re also part of an HOA and have to get permission for everything🙄 You’re right, clears my head and fills my heart. Wishing you all the best with your new garden and home ❤️

What an absolute delight to watch this! 🙂 It just popped up this morning and I loved it! I don't even know you and I'm so proud of you and so happy for your new garden. That was a lot of work! I'm trying to do something similar with my garden and you've given me some great ideas. Did you use mulch or wood chips on top of your landscape fabric as pathways? Also, do I guess correctly that you are a fellow Garden Answer fan? 😉You just got yourself a new subscriber. Happy gardening!

[@cindyannefontenot]

Ohhhh eMMMMM Geeeee!! I thought it was so clever to center the arch with the tree and with the raised beds flanking that tree…I was thinking, “How clever…I love that focal point.” Then wahhhh wahhhhh wahhhhh, bye bye tree…😢…but watched through the end and it’s absolutely beautiful!! What are the dimensions of entire space? What was the cost?

[@ThymeToGarden1975]

Hi Cindy, yes, removing the tree was a tough decision. My neighbor who is a horticulturist told me a few years back that the Bradford Pear is a trash tree with a short life span, and has a tendency to drop limbs in wind and ice storms and that they don't sell them in our area anymore. It was a sad day! 😭 I did plant 2 October Glory maples in its honor. The garden dimensions are 30' x 28'. The project cost was around $1800 excluding the cost to remove the tree. That alone was $1k with stump grinding. Thanks for watching and happy gardening🌸

[@Shobha-Default-pm7mk]

Wow, that turned out so beautiful. May I know where you got the fence and is it no dig fence? Please reply…. thanks.

[@butette]

@@ThymeToGarden1975 I noticed that you just put weed barrier cloth right on top of the grass without doing anything. Do you have any concern that grass/weed will grow through it in the long run? Also what kind of material do you put down in the walkway/path in the garden bed area? I really like your backyard. It just looks so "clean".

[@ThymeToGarden1975]

@@butette Before laying down the weed barrier, we cut the grass as low as possible almost shaving it, then covered it with the weed barrier. On top of the pathways we put down 2 inches of hardwood bark mulch. Thankfully we've had no grass issues.

I do recommend them. My previous beds were screwed together and the project took a lot longer.
