The mound in front of mom and pops house has been beautiful over the years but the plants have gotten overgrown and old. They built their house in 1968 so the plants are about 40 years old. (40 is pretty old isn't it Jamie?) Anyway Mom and I decided to make a much needed change. (With Dave and Pops help of course)
This has been a fun place to watch the birds and squirrels and we didn't want to change that!
Dave and Pops hooked on to the old Junipers with the hitch of the little truck and pulled them out. They came out quite easily.
We kept all the rhododendron and azaleas but pruned them then added a few other plants. Mom had a good friend Barbara who died this past year whose husband gave mom their water fountains. Her husband said he knew Barbara would be so glad to have Mom have them. We love them and were excited to put them in.
The birds love it too! The picture doesn't do it justice. It will be even prettier when we can have our summer flowers added to it. It has been a fun project. It is still a work in progress but it is making this quite a showplace. We will add more pictures later as it gets better.
Well....What do you think?
