What a difference! New cedar created variously turned diamond patterns against the rich dark soil within and around them. I realized I had accomplished many things at one time. Not only did I do away with the flat garden that had been there by giving it a vertical dimension, but also I had created an interesting series of patterns. The cedar gave a woody texture that could be handled either formally or informally.

Over time it will age to a silver-gray color that will give a patina of long life, a kind of authenticity, if you will. What’s more, I had created a number of diamonds and triangular shapes. They would give the empty garden some interest over the winter. They would also make it easier to plan what would go in the garden when it came time to plant in the spring. Strategically located stepping-stones, fieldstones, brick pavers, garden arches, solar lighting added color and an earthy feel to the whole. But my favourite tool has to be my masonry garden barbecue, wow! Also bought from click4garden website, it goes so well with the theme of my garden and cooks some great burgers!
