Garden Photos

Beginning this spring, we began landscaping the back yard. Jay has always wanted a large garden, so landscaping our small city lot in such a way as to maximize his planting area was a challenge. We worked with a landscape designer from Tangletown Gardens in Minneapolis. The design called for a series of large geometric raised beds that could be used for flowers and vegetables. Tim build the beds in April, complete with built-in plumbing for irrigation. The remainder of the hardscape was installed in mid May. Jay was able to transplant the seedlings he had started in the greenhouse into the raised beds by the end of May. These photos were taken on July 10, 2009.

Enjoy!
