Garden of the Day: PLG Make-Over
[nggallery id=”21210″ template=galleryview] The first submission for Garden of the Day comes straight outta PLG. When the owners bought the house four years ago, the back yard was nothing more than concrete and chain-link fencing.

The first submission for Garden of the Day comes straight outta PLG. When the owners bought the house four years ago, the back yard was nothing more than concrete and chain-link fencing. (Check out the last photo in the slideshow for that “before” shot along with a view of the deck mid-construction.) “The rocks for the wall we got from a neighbor renovating their basement,” writes the owner. “The ground in the center has crushed bluestone and the borders have our perennials and some ornamental trees. We are starting some roses and honeysuckle on the arbor.” Sweet!

Certainly a huge improvment over what was there, but my personal opinion is that there is a little too much hardscaping. I would have liked a nice specimen tree or something large and green breaking up that main section of gravel.
be careful with the honeysuckle it is INVASIVE and a bitch to get rid of.
haha…just noticed that in my spellling bee comment i say your instead of you’re.
Serves me right for speaking so fervently!
I agree 4:39. It’s ok to say something is amazing (even when it’s not) but god for bid someone actually say something honest.
The garden looks nice. I agree. It’s not blowing me away, but it’s nice. A huge improvement over what it was for sure and looks like a good place to hang out.
The neighborhood…you couldn’t pay me to live there. It’s obviously great for some, but I don’t like it.
Does that make me a bad person? No.
The reason we have a lot of entitled kids (and adults) running around these days is because people have become completely terrified of speaking the truth or what they believe.
Everything is sugar-coated these days.
You came in last in your spelling bee little Timmy!! Well that’s great! Here’s a trophy which says your number one anyway!!
And you think I’m kidding, but it happens every day. And we see it playing out here on this blog every day.
I can like PLG and you can.
See how that works?
No one is right. And no one is wrong.
It’s called a difference of opinion.
Love the green space–love PLG. A beautiful garden in a wonderful neighborhood.
4:39 and 4:47:
Your pathology is showing.
Ah oh, 4:39. Get ready: the PLG Nazis are on their way!
beautiful
Wow, super-nice job. I bet all your neighbors love looking out on it, too. These kinds of transformations really help strengthen the civic fabric of a neighborhood and buoy everyone’s living experience.
Enjoy a beautiful summer.
