Garden Extravaganza

We're busy planting in new flowering additions to the back and front gardens. When we bought the house six years ago our vision was to have a home that felt like a vacation retreat every day! Greg rented a dumptruck and we hauled 12 cubic yards of compost to transform the surburban slab-o-lawns into a lush gardens and shade the view to the street. Two trellises, double decks in front and back, as well as a recycled brick wall turned into an old walkway, give the place a rustic and vintage feel.


Greg had the brilliant idea to get a Jacuzzi so we bought a Shoji-style cabana that doubles as a spa and guest house. If you are coming to the wedding - don't forget your swim suit. Inside is room for a futon couch that converts to a double bed for guests. At Christmas we had the pleasure of hosting Bill's family from Wisconsin and Paris and 8 guests was no worries, so we're looking forward to a housfeul of wedding guests.
