Where is a good place to get soil for a raised bed garden?  I live in Eureka.  I don't have a truck, so I will need it delivered.  I'm planning on making the bed 4' x 8' and 2' high.  I estimate I will need about 3 cubic yards of soil.  Thanks, Gail

Gail, Taylor's Landscaping Supplies (707)443-1431 at 1011 West Del Norte Street #B in Eureka will deliver topsoil in any amount.

Simply Beautiful French Garden

What I love about this garden bed is is three-fold.  First, I love that all of the plantings are common.  Second, I really like the unusual way the small beds of petunias are tied together with the main bed via natural bamboo-like arches turning the planting into an art piece.  Third, I love that French plantings are relevant in our Sunset Zone Seventeen and can be used as a local resource and a source for inspiration as French gardens always have a certain je ne sais quoi that I find worth emulating.
