Organic Entrance

It is always gratifying when the right elements fall into place to create something beautiful and useful for all of our garden members to benefit from. Elements being materials, intent, inspiration and the right mix of people! It has long been a desire of the garden to improve the entrance area by making it safer and also honour the esthetics of the garden. Enter a pile of found bricks, a team of willing garden members and an organic design process inspired by naturally flowing streams and the eternal circle. It all came together this past week and now our Kits Garden is even more inviting.

 Sh*#load of bricks!

 Floral interlude for your pleasure...

 Our fearless Gatherers of Bricks! A monumental effort in transportation of said found bricks to our garden. We estimate that each brick weighs 5 pounds so it was a herculean effort - thanks guys. I think between them they made 7 trips!? 

Natural designers.

The design crew.

A sentinel emerges...

A passerby likes what she sees - what a gorgeous and rare white german shepherd.

Almost done! Around 5:30 pm (started at 10:00 am!) and no... unfortunately that is NOT a beer in hand.

 Just under the garden gate... and heading towards the 'LC' design (don't ask)

Our entrance settles in... from everyone's input and creativity - it turned out better than we could have imagined.
