E-Jardin
Double digging was required for designated flower and vegetable beds. Eight to ten compost piles were started and kept in continuous use until the "gold for the garden" could be used as an amendment. It certainly improved the dirt where it slowly became tolerable soil. A water garden was added along with a side bog garden. Pocket gardens and rooms were created to enhance features with the lay of the land. Many dogwoods were native to the land as well as maypods growing naturally. Sparkleberry grew everywhere. Even a natural moss garden was in the woods. The hosta trail numbered to twenty five, giving a sampling of growing in the sun to the dark shade.
Hopefully, E-Jardin IV will continue forever.

This
is a native woodland cottage garden, basically created in three
years. It came from great challenges of clay soil, erosion, hot
temperatures, and drought conditions.
The
woodland path to the compost station was lined with hosta. A small brick
enclosed Charleston Garden was used for spring miniature bulbs. 
The
garden is a haven for great wildlife and birds. Deer frequently stopped by
as well as raccoons. Moles and voles were taken care of by two
garden cats.
