Buddha garden design project

I have been working for a number of months on a garden design project for a client who wanted a steep slope outside her dining room windows to be turned into a garden. The garden has finally been planted, though there are still some details to be taken care of -- filling the pot with white roses, weather treating the bronze Buddha statue, and letting the plants take hold. I have been documenting the project all along -- here are some photos --

Before -- showing the rampant ivy, weeds and sprinkler pipe:



After -- a close-up of the Buddha on its stone platform surrounded by succulents and groundcovers.
