Garden Walk Part 2

Most of this part of the community, including the street on which I reside, is in a sunnier location. Sitting on top of a rocky ledge with a hillside covered with wildflowers we are able to have a row of sunny perennial flower gardens along the fence rail at the top of the ledge. It also has a retention pond for rainwater run-off from the ridges above us.

Garden Walk Part 3

I wasn't able to finish the garden walk on the original night, but was able to get out the next evening and finish the walk and the photos.  This is a street which backs up to a rocky ridge covered with laurels--hence, our community's name Laurel Ridge. The rocks and slopes and woodlands make complications for the gardener, but you will see many ideas used successfully in this area.

Laurel Ridge Garden Walk

Last night, despite temperatures over 90 degrees during the day, we walked the gardens of Laurel Ridge.  Here are some photos of the woodland gardens, stone paths, terraces and views we enjoyed.  Our community has many gardeners who continue to express their green thumbs in limited space on a rocky ridge with poor soil.  Their efforts exhibit years of experience digging in the dirt!
