Rock Garden

For a while my little neighbour Hannah had been asking if she could help in the gardens. So one day in June she and her mom came down and we all planted the rock garden together. She was a great help and it was a fun project!

On a different note, I received some sad news today though: someone is planning to come and take the large boulders and place them in a botanical garden. I'm so sad! What about our Downtown Eastside gardens?? I'll have to import some more boulders from somewhere! I had already been thinking we needed more, not less! We've build the garden plan around the current boulders (there's one here and one halfway up the block), and I'm so disappointed! Oh well, maybe it won't happen. And if it does, we'll roll with the punches.

Here's the rock garden in it's beginning stages.

The hens and chicks bloomed and they were beautiful. I'm really looking forward to seeing the rock garden filled in next year!
