“Northwest Corner”
Heatherwood Summer
Walking up the road past Heatherwood, this is what a stroller sees. Low profile shrubs and trees allow one to look into the garden. The remnant of our area’s history provides additional interest. We have tried to create perspectives of enjoyment both looking into and out from our garden. We like to share as well as have our own privacy.
“Irrigation Flume Section”
Heatherwood Garden
Our neighborhood was sad to see the historic Selah Naches irrigation flume taken down. What is left is a scar along where the flume gracefully stood for over 100 years. It will take many, many years (longer than my lifetime) for the scar to transition to a natural vegetation state.
Several of our neighbors were able to get a section of the flume and preserve a little history in our gardens. At Heatherwood we will add additional trees and shrubs that will highlight and frame the flume segment. We also plan to add trees to shield the scar that remains in areas where we had previously created windows to view the flume .
“Selah-Naches Irrigation Flume”
Heatherwood View
After 129 years of use, the last section of our historic irrigation flume is being replaced by a modern pipeline. Today, this section was demolished. It was so sad to see it come down. To pay it a little tribute, I post-processed the image to give a little historic antique look. Memories!!!
