Today ’s picture are from Ann Orr in Markham , Ontario . Ann says,“When we moved in here in 1991 the back garden was just a lawn and a twosome of tree diagram . It sloped steeply with a difference of 6 feet from one side to the other .

“ We had the rock garden instal and some levelling done and when the back addition was done the contractors used the back filling to make another level area and bank beside where the humiliated deck is now . Everything else , planting etc . , I have done myself unless it involve construction , in which case my married man does it . We make a utilitarian team and have done for 47 years this September!”Happy almost - anniversary , Ann & John ! Your garden is clearly a labor of dear – stunning !
