On the second weekend in May, my husband helped create a Mothers’ Day Memorial garden for our dear departed mothers.
Now it is complete with a variety of pebbles. The spaces created by the angle of the bricks were a very narrow triangle (actually an arc). With many of my creative projects I need to go through various ideas before I settle on the final implementation.
One of my ideas had been to plant some mini ground covers in some of the segments, or maybe a cottage garden effect with some alyssum, but in the end I thought that would require a lot more maintenance than simply filling the gaps with pebbles.
A friend was getting rid of some scoria, and since I already had the white and black pebbles, it ended up being one of my favourite things – a recycling project! There were two advantages to cutting up some polystyrene to use as a base for the stones: firstly, it saved filling the gaps completely with pebbles, and secondly it should deter weed growth.
Now the view from my bedroom window is complete.

Lovely, and always a great sense of accomplishment to complete a project with Love.
I agree, and this memorial will be with us for years to come.
