I'm new to this forum! I've previously been on the roses and antique roses forums, as we are rose freaks here. We have an English garden style to our front and back gardens- even though we ar in No. California! I've got a couple of pics in an album on my online Picture Trail to show work in progress.

The front yard: raised rose beds, brick work, metal gazebo

back yard: slate patio with pergola for roses and grapes

left side yard: a secret garden being created for our two children- ages 10 1/2 and 12 1/2 years.
