The Lavender Garden: Part I

 You may have read about the new lavender garden here.
It was tons of work to get the soil right, but it really needed to be done.
Oh well...it's a good work out, right?
 The lavender will be really visible as you walk toward the rear of the property,
 from the front drive.
 I included 3 wine barrels as part of the design too.
These inexpensive garden barrels actually are great in a country garden like this one.

I got the lavender delivery on Friday....all 80 plants....
holy moly, what did I just get myself into!
I reworked the layout a couple of times but in the end,
 the quantity was just about perfect
The plants were hand pick by a grower friend and she sent me the really compact beefy little guys that will take off quickly.
Millie, as usual, is a huge help.

Next post...plant the plants!

Thanks for stopping by...kelley
