My garden is a work in progress which I am sure will never be finished. We live in the country on 2 1/2 acres which over 22 years we have planted with about 200 trees and bushes. We have raised beds with railroad ties that contain flowers and some vegetables with a lot of flagstone used for patios and paths, with an irrigation system as complex as a small city.
Where: 5455 Snow Bowl Drive
Driving Directions: Ttake Highway 89 North past the mall about 3 miles. Turn left on Sunset which is just before the trailer park and across from Titan Propane Gas. If you go through the lights and pass the Silver Saddle Trading post you have gone too far. Turn Right on Silver Saddle, Left on Forest, Right on Ponderosa and Left on Snow Bowl Drive. The address is 5455 Snow Bowl Drive which is the third house on the right. It is best to park anywhere below the small hill. Parking on the grass is okay.
