Kate I love your "Garden gnome" in the backround of first photo! How cute is she!
The bed looks very nice, you could add more pots into it...did you see that silent movie of the person with all the pots in semps - something to aspire too!!
I know I'm working on it!
I love the brick with cement of those steps, adding the rock garden there will look very nice with that as a backdrop! How exciting and inspiring!
