More Church Landscaping +

Continuing to add "growth" around the church, also had to recover some of the gravel road in front of the "mill village".

Some static grass had gotten onto the gravel and I made the mistake of misting the grass with heavy hold hair spray.  Worked pretty well for grassy slope AND for gravel.  Took the opportunity to give the road a little better definition by placing a card along side of the road when I added more gravel.  Helped a bit.

Added a store-bought tree along the cut by the track (another will be added a little further down the line).  Also used some lichen to "weed it up" a bit.  Also, a few flowering weed "pods" to add "color".

Next were a few bushes to help define the parking lot.  With the vehicles added, seems to be making good progress.


After that, more lichen/moss/weeds along the lower edge of the slope trying for the unkempt look.  Close enough.  Sprayed some more hairspray along slope along with a dusting of fine turf, probably burnt grass or earth tone.  Put a little "forest debris" down where I wanted to plant two, fairly large deciduous trees.  Then glued the trees in place.  I think these were store-bought "armatures" with foam added for foliage.  Note second, smaller store-bought tree also installed just to far side of yard junk.


Since the forest debris bag was out, I removed the doe and fawn to allow sprinkling of debris under the small forest behind the mill hill.  Almost too well covered with trees to get to all of the forest floor!  Added a few twigs and such under the canopy and also along the edge of the sloping hill in front of the village.


This might be about it for the mill village, church, forest until ground goop is applied along the blacktop and rail line. . . .
