Niwa at 1033

I started working on the garden at 1033 in 1983.  The early garden was two distinct sections on either side of the walkway from the house to the garage.  To the north of the walkway was a big rectangle of pea rock, perfectly flat, designed for setting up a judo mat.  The south side was a free form garden... it didn't look like a Japanese garden.

In 1993 I put an addition on the house, a 3 season porch that borrowed a lot of ideas from Japanese architecture, and a two story garage, technically a single story garage with an attic.  We practiced judo in the attic.

I started the garden in the pictures below in 1994.  Rather than go on about the pictures I will let them speak for themselves.
