Our Garden August 2012

Living in a mobile home park means small lots and tight quarters so we decided to make our little home and lot colorful and friendly.  Our garden has evolved to include plants grown from cuttings and found objects added for color and interest.  We've really enjoyed putting it together over the past 16 months.
Welcome to L Row!
We found used wine barrels for planters
Most of our plants are from cuttings of plants found in our area
We love the colors and variety of shapes
We found driftwood on a beach close by...
...and added river stone found locally... 
...added found objects...
...and a few store bought objects
The neighbors stop often to examine the latest additions
Sedums do really well in Morro Bay
The area to the right around the corner is the nursery for plant cuttings. 
It doesn't take much effort to turn cuttings into full grown plants here, so it's easy and inexpensive to create a garden.  It didn't cost much money to put this together, just time and lots of backpack loads of rocks and cuttings.
