Initial Patterns
As we begin to repair the site, our focus has been on planning for and creating:
- #103 Small Parking Lots
- #105 South Facing Outdoor Spaces
- #106 Positive Outdoor Space
- #111 Half-Hidden Gardens
- #161 Sunny Place
- #163 Outdoor Room
- #169 Terraced Slope*
Plan of the South Patio
New Patio April 2008
Time will tell if the plants grow and create an inviting spot to sit and enjoy a sunny day. But I know even now with just our tiny little trees and shrubs around it, I love looking at the little patio. I look out there and I can see how it will be in five years. I see people sitting out there, parents waiting for their children, neighbors reconnecting, and children being children.
Patterns: # 105. South Facing Outdoor Spaces, #161. Sunny Place and #163. Outdoor Room

An example of an #163. An Outdoor Room that I love. The image is from Small Space Garden by David Stevens.
Natural Looking Stone Path through the Woods
Unfortunately I do not remember where I got this image from, but we would love to have a path like this behind the school. # 169. Terraced Slope.
