I realized today that I promised – way back in early summer! – to post a photograph of the new pergola built by the community gardening group I belong to. ย It was a big project for us, the largest undertaking we’ve had since breaking ground and completing the actual garden build (which I wasn’t part of, not being ย a garden member at the time). ย  We’re pretty pleased with the result!

Over the summer and autumn, I took a bunch of photos of our community garden, the produce and flowers we grew, and the social events and work parties we held…if you’re interested, you can check out the gallery here. Nice to reflect on the past growing season and dream about the one to come! ย ๐Ÿ™‚

    We have a similar pergola in our front yard, built by my husband! It’s covered in snow right now . . .

      This one is a bit snow-encrusted right now, too! ๐Ÿ™‚ It appears to be a good, solid structure. Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

    What a healthy looking garden, there must be quite a few green thumbs in your area! Love the pergola.

    Looks great, what are you going to grow up it?

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      We haven’t yet decided how to plant it – hopefully we’ll come to some sort of consensus this year. We also have to figure out if we for sure want to incorporate seating as well….
