One of our (many) favourite things about our big old house was the expansive yard. We were so fortunate to find a home with a huge lot. It may have been a beautiful space in its day, but by the time we arrived it was far past its prime. Having found old plant labels in what was once a greenhouse, we could tell the yard would have been filled with gorgeous flowers, herbs and vegetables, not long forgotten.

In December 2022 we were handed the keys to our new home. New to us of course, as the house was built in 1910. It was an estate sale, and the home was sold “as is”, but we saw the massive potential it had despite its downfalls.
