Re: Back yard path

This is my Italian inspired back yard. Around teh corner there is a fountain, a wonderful stair of large stepping stones, a gazebo with grapevines and roses and an arbor with antique climbing roses. Also it will not be an Italian garden if I didn't have a very large vegetable garden.
Thanks for the comment.
