My partner and I met Adam several years ago via a referral from the County Extension Office. She wanted to have raised garden beds built that would be accessible by wheelchair. Adam took the time to listen to her ideas and design some options. When he began construction, the thing that I noticed was the care that he took to make sure that they were installed perfectly on the uneven terrain. He constructed a total of six raised beds over three years. There is a photo of them on the page. After my partner died, I knew that I would have no further need for vegetable gardens so, Adam converted them to flower gardens. Since I have no interest in supporting the growing of grass, Adam has converted all of the front yard and most of the back yard to a landscape of plants, flowers, bushes, and ornamental grasses, with a curving rock pathway from front to back and lights along the front walkway. The yard is a work in progress with something added each year. Last year, Adam built a large trellis on the side of the house. Interestingly, someone stopped to take photos of it after construction. With all that has been done, Adam has always been patient and willing to listen to my ideas. For someone like me, for whom landscaping is unknown territory, I think the most important lesson that Adam has taught me is patience, patience to allow things to get established and mature.
