We created this drive entry by extending a few existing trees into a curved arc. The once tiny maples are now hitting their stride . This is Acer rubrum ‘Brandywine’ .
We sourced split rails (recycled old telephone poles, hand-split in Langley into 10′ sections ), and made a fence to follow the drive. The drive is peach-toned gravel.
Brent has been restoring our very old barn on the property . It is a ‘pole barn’ , built with Douglas Fir poles and planks
that our now-deceased very elderly neighbour says would have been milled right on site.
There is still a long way to go. When it is all done, I want to give classes in it. Making wreaths, designing planted pots , who knows what else.
It would be a great party venue !
