for several years i've been thinking about laying a dry-stacked stone wall on this bank.
it felt like a huge project but ended up being fairly easy and the actual stonework only took several hours.
i already had the stones from other projects and snitched a few from other places around the yard.
i love the transformation and wonder why i didn't do it before!
THE BEFORE
THE AFTER
planting geraniums here would look lovely against the stone.
however, i'm thinking of letting this space empty
and planting ajuga there in the fall, which i already have.
a tutorial on a dry-stacked wall is in my gardening blog fleur gardens in two posts.
...blessedness!

That looks really good, I love stacked stone it reminds me of the England countyside.
Funny how some projects that seem so hard, actually turn out to be easy, while others give you an unexpected hard time.
What a wonderful garden!
A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm Girl! Your rock wall looks great, and so perfect in that space too! I popped over from Rooms to Inspire - love your blog! Ciao, bella!
The wall looks great Esther! You make it look so easy!!
The wall looks amazing! With that pop of color, I think geraniums would look great.

I love your rock wall. It caught my eye at the linky party right away.
Love your wall... what a difference stones can make. Very nice job.
Found you over at Beyond the Picket Fence.

I love it! We've been gathering fieldstone from our acreage for awhile now to use in several projects like yours. I'll have to go check your tutorial out. Thanks for sharing.
