My Flowerbeds -- Part 2 -- Large Flowerbed

My "large flowerbed" was the biggest project . . . requiring a dump truck load of black dirt (12 yards) delivered to the drive.  From there, my husband and son moved the dirt via wheel barrow to the bed site.  Landscaping stones were added after the dirt was sculpted.  This flowerbed is 100% perennials, making it low maintenance.

View from our deck shows shape and size, approx. 20 feet x 40 feet
(If you look closely, you can see the edging to the front. 
When we get the grass dug out,
the front edge should be a close mirror image of the back edge.)



Front View. There is a single row of landscape edging, seemed ok at the time.  When we put the edging down, we intended to come back and dig the grass out . . . a project yet to complete. I do not like the edging and would like to take it out and use the same stone as the back of the bed. Redo of landscaping stones is still in negotiations  :-)
