Rue that sounds cute!!!
Barb M,
I was thinking when you said it was shallow and rocky to bring in some more bigger rocks to the back and some dirt inbetween the rocks and make a hill like at the top, and then in the pockets of dirt you put in,
plant some ornamental
trees, to give it heighth to the top of the back of the cabin, and gradient down the sizes of
plants items, and maybe through the middle going down a stream or make it look like a creek and a small pond or something to the other side...
and at the base of the piles of rocks, make a small rock garden on other side.................
Boy do I wish I had a pencil and paper right about now!!!
Makes it kind of a private area in the back
and if there's a water feature, they hear the water and not the front noise *and vice~versa!*
Or the other idea is a big Cottage style garden,
(You'd have to throw in some dirt on the top of existing area)
where you'd put a couple of trellis' to the back of the cabin, put something that climbs, like clematis' one in the middle and a climbing
rose or sweet peas on either side???????
Then gradient the hieghths of the
plants again, down, A
lilac bush in the middle (There's a yellow and purple one on sale on
QVC Hollihock's, Delphiniums, Valerians',
a couple of sunflowers, Lilies (like oriental, trumpets, asian's, stargazers) here and there, and then in front of those, globe thistles, cosmos', queen anne's lace, mulliens', phlox's..
In front shorter and shorter as you go????
Hope some of these idea's helps???
