Tea House landscaping

 The Tea House area is finally finished!  As I mentioned, we wanted to wait for cooler fall weather before planting.  After getting all our plant (more than half-off!) at the plant sale, dad and I went to work.  Marcus even joined in.  I am so happy with the finished product and I know it will even get better as we add garden art and as the plants grow and fill it.

"finished!"  (well, I still needed to take all the labels off the
plants but I wanted to write down the names first)

I love this area so much more than the plain lawn that
used to be down there.

And keeping up with the Birthday Season theme, here are a few bonus pics:

can eat the whole thing including sides)
