This is my husband's dream backyard. It includes an outdoor bar & cooking area, BBQ, fire pit, & mini vineyard. One day we will have patio furniture and chairs by the fire pit, but one thing at a time!

Our back yard, we did all the work on the decks and in the yard, we had the pool put in, but I came up with the design since there was a hill. We hope you like it. This is our home in M.S. We've been here since Dec. of 2005. We came from S.C. I will put pictures of that home too.

We designed this outdoor garden space ourselves by combining organics and topsoil into the subsoil and then forming curves and lines with a water-hose. I'd like to know what people think and if they have any recommendations for improving or alternatives. I'd also like comments for improvement to my website that contains more photos and details about how we designed this space. The site is: http://www.LearnToGarden.net

I love to garden! I can't resist planting up every sqaure inch of earth I get my hands on, but it was equally important to me that the yard belong very much to our children as well. I wanted the kids' areas to be part of the gardens, and the gardens to be part of the kids areas. Our goal was to create our own little Wonderland that our entire family could get lost in and enjoy. The gardens are all organic, ornamentals and edibles are all planted together. I like the natural, wild style of the garden, I think it adds to the magical character and keeps it all un-fussy and kid tough. This has been a labor of love that has evolved over nearly ten years, making use of recyled materials, my husbands mad carpentry skills, and the collaborative imaginations of our entire family.

This was our summer project. We sunk an old Studebaker truck (1949 on the existing island and then built a waterfall pond and beach. It took us 3 months to complete. We live in SW Missouri. The purple plant around the pond is basil. The dog is Snoopy. The last two photos were taken in early morning with a slight mist over the beach. Thanks for all the kind comments!!! :

My Husband & I took our 3 year old Grandson Pokey on vacation and stayed in a log cabin. When we got home my husband and grandson got busy building. It's not a kit we designed and built it from scratch. The slide and swings are store bought the rest is handcrafted

This is my pride and joy. Actually the second waterfall I built last summer in August 2007. The smaller corner waterfall I built last spring. The larger one contains approximately 35000 lbs of rock and the smaller one approximately 18000 lbs. Both waterfalls have two small ponds each with gold fish in them as well as 2 bamboo bridges surrounded by luscious tropical landscaping. It looks great at night because both waterfalls light up like Christmas trees.

It was suggested to me that I had not posted some of my pictures so that they could be appreciated by more viewers. So I took their advise and re-posted adding a few more too.

I built this shed for all my garden tools and is a great place to set up a little bar when having a party out in the yard. If your looking for shed plans check out betterbarnsandsheds.com they have some great plans for sheds.
