I like the wagon planter! We have one of those old wagons that the kids (and I) used to play with. Not sure if my spouse would let me turn it into a planter, though.

Hi Chris, I enjoyed the tour of your garden! It is on the verge of spectacular. I love the stepping stones you said were made locally. Can you tell me where you got them? Thanks, and happy spring! Deb

  Hey Deb,
  The stepping stones came from the little garden shop on the corner of oxmoor and greenssprings in homewood. Not sure the name of it.
