To any other person the above pile of stones may be in fact, a pile of stones, however to Narayani Hiffman they are so much more.
I was so glad when Grace Karoluk, Countryside Landscape Designer, came to me and said, "I have a great story for the e-newsletter!" Without hesitation she placed a call to Narayani and I'm delighted to share the story behind this pile of stones.
Three years ago, the Hiffmans decided to take a long vacation in Ireland. Not only did the immediate family go, but Narayani's mom decided to join them in Ireland. They toured Ireland enjoying the culture, the landscape and the beautiful stone fences that were built throughout the countryside.
Fast forward to January, 2019, Narayani's mom passed away.
Many of us know what challenges come with moving forward after such a life changing event. So many things trigger memories...
While at her mom's house looking at all of the rocks her mom had gathered over the years, Narayani had a thought, "the stone walls in Ireland!"
With a phone call to Grace, a design was drawn up. "If you can get the rocks from your mom's house to your house - we would be happy to build you 'Ireland Garden Walls'." The above picture is of some of the rock piles...
Spring finally came and Countryside's Natural Rock Specialist, Miguel Zambrano, and his crew built beautiful rock walls around Narayani's gardens. Beautiful in the way they were built, reminiscent of Ireland - moss and all, with rocks from her mom's home and a trip to Ireland that they will never forget.
Thank you for the
opportunity
to share your story with others. Enjoy your gardens and may your rock walls always put a smile on your face and warm your heart.
