My daughter and son in law and I sold our homes - pooled the money and bought a large house which we share.This meant joining garden stuff.
We ended up with 40 containers that spend the years on the deck.
I have always had a garden so needed to plant some favorites I brought along from my old house.
I commandeered the mulched areas surrounding the property as garden space.
I have the best of both worlds here, it has worked out great for all.
