Small Spaces:: addressing grade and reclaiming space

terracing what we used to be a muddy slippery slope



framing out the 'upper' grassy play space with steel veggie planters with the dual fold purpose of keeping small children cozily up, in, and within sight!


Entry to the upper grass space to the front door


alternate view from opposite end


sweet, sweet salvia within the surrounding garden


face if rock and steel


a lovely visitor, one of many!
