Garden Tour with Jeb

Jeb finished the pond on the same day as the Mount Holly Garden Tour. My yard had been part of that tour last year, but I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to pay to see my mess this year. Jeb and I both wanted to see the 2014 gardens so after he took the Kubota home, we met at the Belmont Store.

I've been in this garden before, but I didn't remember there being an elephant!

No rock border around this pond, but a nice fake heron.

Jeb (center) and I met up with Jack and Linda checking out more of Jeb's walls.

This house lost half of its back yard with Irene, the hurricane that flooded Vermont. Jeb was hired to build a wall so the erosion couldn't continue and threaten the house. The wall is about 30 feet high and built in 2 sections...

When Jeb was about halfway up, he created a platform so he could build the rest of the wall. The rock steps continue all the way to the grass below. It was pretty amazing to climb the wall!

 

 

 

 

This is the small pond in the lawn below the monster wall. I was comparing ponds, getting ideas.
