next part of the project was to install two arches where I am hoping to grow cucumbers and beans and morning glories;-)…

they will be located between the pond and the deck…

I’m hopeful that the light will help grow more veggies and brighten up that section of the garden;-)…

now the arches are in, two planters from other areas of the garden will be placed under them to hold the plants, once the grass/clover comes through the dirt/compost/sand… fingers crossed…

we picked up some wire and fastened it to the arches using zip ties…

it will be interesting to see how long it takes to cover the arches with greenery…

glitters…

on May 9th, we found the chicken wire we’ve been looking for, to add to the arches in the side garden…

I am hoping this will make it easier for the peas, cucumbers, and beans to climb up and over the space;-)…

my housemate did a great job of zip tying it all around the arch, and it kind of glitters;-)…

peas were planted and have already popped through the soil…

arches…

as you enter the Mediterranean biome there are dozens of amaryllis in various stages… some nearly done, while others are fully open… many with multiple petals…

absolutely gorgeous…

and then you step into the Babs Asper display area… twelve hundred orchids in one place;-)… heaven…

the Blooms in Winter display is so lovely, a perfect place to enjoy the beauty of orchids…

there are a number of arches to walk through and benches to sit on and enjoy the views…

orchids everywhere, beautiful shapes and sizes…

what a delight;-)…

can’t wait to go back;-)…
