Garden from scratch with raised bed

Finding My Feet

Garden from scratch with raised bed

Started my garden from a very bare backyard. Placed a raised garden bed down the back corner, halved the yard and added pebbles and sleepers for the path.

Over time l have placed 'treasures' and plants on my large tree. My backyard is my 'haven!'

Materials

Bought soil and pebbles and sleepers and plants from Bunnings. Collected 'treasures' from op shops and markets....

Tools

Wheelbarrow, Mattock, shovels etc etc....you name it....l used it!!!!

Steps

Step 1

Did most of the work myself over the years, with some help from my son and a few family members!

Hello @jcrawford 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your Serenity garden project.

 

It looks very peaceful, and the paved walkway is an excellent stop gap for your lawn. the pebbles provide the organic feel, and your treasures are evenly spread out. A beautiful well-balanced backyard.
