Hello! For quite some time I have been showing you glimpses on my Instagram story of the backyard garden oasis that is now finally complete. It has been a long project and something that I have always dreamed of having. Well, it turned out even better than I thought and what once was an in-ground pool is now a beautiful, enclosed garden.

If you have a pool that you have been thinking about filling in, consider using it to start a garden. I love that the tile surrounding it was already there, making it cleaner, more attractive and easy to get to and manage. Not only do I love it, but my chickens have been having so much fun. We are still adjusting to the South Florida weather and trying to maintain healthy vegetables with all of this tropical rain so we have let the chickens experiment in there and it’s safe to say that they would destroy it if we let them.
If you have chickens, consider enclosing the area. If you don’t have chickens but would like to, check out How to Be a Cool Chicken Mom, Not a Regular Chicken Mom. To be honest, the chickens are some of the easiest animals to maintain on our farm. The chickens love vegetables and will take everything and eat it. We used a small stone to surround the garden beds, giving the area a clean and sophisticated look. It is very easy to maneuver through the stone and I absolutely love the look of it.
Your garden looks so beautiful! I wish I had a space for something like this in my yard, but I love to admire other people’s work. I hope your veggies and plants can keep up with the heat! 🙂
Thanks! I hope so too!
I love your garden! So jealous of having chickens. We don’t have a fenced-in yard, but I would love to have something like this when we have a house!
It’s amazing! I hope that works out for you.
Hope we get to Florida soon – love to come visit the garden and the chickens! I’d love to live on a farm! I’ve blogged since 2014, I’ll be checking back again

i really like your garden setup! I can not wait until my husband and I get into a house of our own so that I can start my garden!! I miss being able to garden! for now its just house plants and indoor gardens!
Oh wow this is lovely! I’m not good with outdoor plants – I can barely handle my indoor ones! I wish I had more of a green thumb.
