Did you ever hear my brick pavers history?
I found (300) 8 pound pavers at a yard sale. The trucker removed the huge load from downtown Detroit during a repaving project. They date back to the 1800's. He didn't have the heart to dump these beauties at the landfill. The rest is history. (DH groans every time I tell the 'moving of the brick paver' story)

We dream of a patio and approaches in all pavers with a variety of designs. I have a small amount but in my city crews are directed to save the old pavers for public works.

There are landfills all over with millions of them. They just need repatriation!

Anyway, that's on my long-term planning list while I work out the sourcing. Love what you did.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
