Beyond the "Catcher's Mitt" we decided to expand the borders even more! We spliced photos together to help with our design and the quality of the photo is poor but it gives you an idea of the area we need to plant.
This is where our Open House visitors park when they arrive and we really wanted the area to be a little more inviting and encourage them to tour the gardens.
The soil is prepared and obviously we need plants for the area, but we decided an Arbor with a path leading into the gardens might work well here.
