Today ’s exposure are from our very owntntreeman , Jeff Calton . He says,“This is the back yard of one of my favorite clients ( they are ALL my favorites ) .
“ The theatre is build atop the highest point in the city so there are massive retaining walls in back . It was NOT easy carting all that clobber up there to plant and it is vicious : western exposure so it fry all summer and direct the frozen winds all winter .
“ The family comprise of husband / wife and 4 boy , so they are officious , busy , officious , and wanted color but not alot of “ work ” , although we do all the maintenance . They like thing bully and tidy and with 4 - time of year involvement and mint of summer coloring material . It ’s not “ garden ” but it is landscaped and nothing in the layer can be hurt by the boys , their Quaker , dog , association football games , or anything else . ”
Very nice , Jeff ! Those retaining wall are intimidating….you are brave and talented !
