I also have a photo after the garden was just planted in' 04.
It's fun for me to see how it changed and what worked, and what I lost .
Originally the garden was mostly ditch lilies and hawkweed with hostas and the one big bleeding heart in the back. It is such a narrow garden I needed the stepping stones to reach the back without stomping plants. The 5th and 2nd grade class helped me plant after I prepared the soil and set the bluestone. This is a memorial garden to remember lost classmates. The 2nd graders had lost a classmate to fire that year.
