Blue Castle Garden - Front Yard
In 2005, planning began for Blue Castle Garden. The lot size, lot shape and house direction were decided on which would have a great influence on the garden design and plant selection for years to come.
Blue Castle Garden - Side Yard
In 2006, house construction was completed late February. Much of the upcoming summer was spent dealing with an unexpected grade elevation problem between me and my neighbour’s house.
Blue Castle Garden - Back Yard
In 2007, after the construction of a retaining wall, fence building began. Sod was laid over the entire front yard and the first plants were grown, including a thriving patch of potatoes in the back yard.
