Before we had a house, we had a Potting Shed. Mike designed it for me and surprised me with it. Now truth be told, it was all a ploy to keep my stuff out of the way of equipment! But, I love it none the less. We bought it from a local builder. Where the enormous house once stood, is our beautiful garden today. At the back of the garden is our Potting Shed. It took a huge amount of dirt work to get it where it is today. We had top soil from the farm pond dig was perfect.
The huge shed you see in the background did come first. That is where we stored our equipment. We weren’t living there for a few years, so we did what we could to protect what we had invested in.
The stone pieces that mark the entryway into the garden from the drive were on the property when we bought it. They are old and found in random places here. The flower medallion is only on one side, so they face the same way. The raised metal troughs were mostly free. The thought was that those would be the vegetables and everything else would be flowers. We made the arches out of cattle fence. I will share more about the garden and the inside of the Potting Shed later, but you can see how it started to come together. This is now our back yard, behind our house.
