The Shelter Garden
#1
For a number of years now I have been working on a garden at the animal shelter. It hasn't been easy to start from dirt and establish a beautiful garden. Last year the shelter put in a retaining wall and the garden is doing so much better.

Here it is at the beginning of May before I did any planting.

Now hundreds of plants and many shrubs later:

Once it started growing there was no stopping it.

I have a lot of beautiful perennials established and the shrubs are growing nicely.

This is the view from the bridge. You can't see details, but I love seeing the whole garden at once.

Next time I will take pictures of the rooftop vegetable garden.  The smaller shelter animals have fresh veggies and the cats have fresh grown catnip. They love the catnip.
