Pour yourself a big glass of ice tea, there are a lot of pictures! There were 16 gardens we visited, I have tried to keep it in somewhat of an order, but with so many gardens I know I have mixed up the photos.
Here we go...
Simple use for recycled concrete.
U-shaped Pergola with iron drum fire pit.
I took several pictures of this pergola in hopes that Tony will build one for me!
This was at a house that had a water slide (below) in the backyard. This was in the shape of a fish.
This tile "rug" was at this Island Paradise Home from Farrell Design Assoc. Inc.
