I love the look of the pecan mulch and keep meaning to look into getting some. It keeps that nice brown look as well as keeping open for rain. I rather enjoyed seeing the garden by myself although seeing it with lots of children would also be fun. I look forward to taking my grandchildren there when they visit.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-77036362656062679002014-06-28T07:23:45.792-07:002014-06-28T07:23:45.792-07:00I hope you can plan your trip to Austin for Octobe...I hope you can plan your trip to Austin for October.

It is usually hard to get a good idea of the wider views due to the people in the way - it is great to have a chance to see entire plantings and garden spaces, in morning light, without admirers. Thanks for taking us along.<br /><br />(These spaces are filling in pretty fast - all that rain has really helped jump start the new garden TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-68564491041551493822014-06-28T04:51:50.682-07:002014-06-28T04:51:50.682-07:00This is really a wonderful looking place!

Here there are so many clever, creative and imaginative uses of native materials, plants and otherwise ... the stonework, the stumpery, the giant bird's nests, the playground toys made of old machine parts. It was a brilliant idea on someone's part to make the native animal sculptures so Jane Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016381279699618539noreply@blogger.com
