A photo of the beginning construction of my garden path with black weed barrier outlined in river rock. The trail is 125′ in length and 5′ wide and took several days to prepare. I began this project in early spring before the weeds took over.
The tiny trees were planted two years ago in the hopes that someday this area will become a forest again. I will probably not see this in my lifetime, spruce trees grow very slow in Alaska just a few inches each year. Nevertheless, I had to start somewhere, and I’m re-placing trees that were torn out during the construction of our studio/residence.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Alaska artist
