Here are our Entry Gardens to the Garden Oasis . We are focusing on these garden next Spring . This is the best view of them . Nothing jolly develop well here , because of our Big Pine Tree and Raspberry Bushes . But I did find a result for now . I draw the garden with beautiful container . I dug them into the footing so they did n’t face out of place . It made a vast difference ! We get ask a lot about why we have such a big crushed rock blank splitting the garden . That is a Driveway that we add up in the beginning of this lifetime project of turning our entire property into lucullan beautiful gardens . It ’s for our future growth on the property . It can hold large tree trucks , machinery and dump trucks with landscape painting material . It ’s been used so many clip already , and we utilize it everyday for walks and ranger rides . It ’s all about planning , and when you take on a lifetime undertaking like this , you have to design the design for farsighted term use and growth !
