Shells...

We have these shells used as landscaping in a good portion of our yard... To see a wide view on how the shell is used, check out the extra photo. 

When we bought the house in 2012, we did not want grass. We wanted tropical plants and no lawn! We hired a garden landscaper, my friend Ann. She created a wonderful plan for us and orchestrated the installation. Even though some plants and even trees did not make it to 2025 and other plants needed replacing, we still love our yard. 

In 2013, when the job was finished I created a photo montage as a video of the transformation. It is pretty long at 6 minutes, so it may not be for everyone, but if you love gardening or landscaping you are in for some fun. Watch it here! - on YouTube. Look for the big piles of delivered shell and the first bougainvillea planted by the mailbox that grew into the current archway!
