Finally, when you turn the corner past the fountain, you arrive at the sloped rock garden which - over the years - has become home to more roses than rocks. We used to call this Stonehenge, but now many of the big tombstone-like rocks that jut out of the ground have become obscured by roses, conifers and ground cover plants, so the name isn't as apropos as it used to be. A separate tumbling bed of rocks can still be seen on the far right by the wood fence I built a few years ago. That bed of rocks is several feet deep and has grown in size and depth over time -- all dug up from the garden to make room for more plants.

Well, that concludes the nickel tour. I'll post some plant portraits separately.

Thanks for visiting!
