		<description><![CDATA[Sydney's repurposed garden is newly installed but will soon be productive in providing her with veggies, herbs, fruits and Joy!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alfordsenglishgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Sydneys-garden.JPG"><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2118" title="Sydneys garden" src="http://www.alfordsenglishgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Sydneys-garden.JPG" alt="Sydneys garden" width="448" height="336" /></a>What is old is new again! Sydney&#8217;s back yard was typical Lakewood tract home&#8211; 50&#8242;s style. We took an old painted (red) patio and broke it up to make a new Urbanite patio with ground cover. New veggie boxes along with citrus and stone fruit were added. A potting shed and small seating area were adding to make this working garden pleasant to spend time in. Even a clothes line was added so Sydney can hang her clothes out to dry the old fashioned way. Just like my mom did in the 50&#8242;s.</p>
