we didn't have a front garden to speak of:
just old tarmac, all cracked, flaked and gritty
that was carried into the house

topsoil, horticultural membrane 
and shingle:
sand brushed into the path:
walk the planks:
a blank canvas for me to plant:
with sea loving plants:
and gorgeous grasses:
a work in progress:
