mound of mondo and the sore knees

James is creating an outdoor garden installation in Golden Beach, FL. For over a month, he has been re-designing an inner courtyard of a home and changing it from a pool surrounded by pavers into a multi-level deck and garden. This week I joined him to help garden. For the past three days, we have planted 750 mondo grasses around the slate walking path that he laid. We still have at least another 500 dwarf mondos to  plant and countless other butterfly and blooming flowers and bushes. It is lovely. Even in the center of a construction site with so much left to do - I am impressed with his vision and effort.
