The garden path

A few months ago we were discussing the dream of having a path through the CN triangle. Someone mentioned they had just biked by a pile of bricks in a Downtown Eastide back alley. We picked up the bricks and within a few hours we had this great path built! Even came with its own moss!It's done wonders for the garden, it gives it boundaries and a focal point and shape... it even looks nice without plants!
I'm hopeful for this next year, we dug up almost everything in this garden last year and replaced the plants with more drought-tolerant plants. The last few years this garden hasn't looked too hot in the summer months as it's under a large tree and the rain doesn't get through. It does looks great in the spring months, however. Already the Crocuses have bloomed and now the Daffodils and Hyacinths are blooming. The Tulips and Spanish Bluebells are well on their way.

Hopefully with the new path and new plants 2009 will be a good year for this garden!
