Photograph of spring flowers blooming in a cleft in the rocks, one of many small rockery beds Gilean Douglas planted in natural depressions on the rocks the house sat upon.

Photograph of what Gilean Douglas called the Indian tree. It was a large cedar tree which grew close to a rock face on the trail between the house and garden at Channel Rock. The bottom facing the rock face was burnt out and formed a natural hearth, where a fire could be built; the rocks would reflect the heat and the cedar branches would give protection from the rain, thus creating a space for people to keep warm and dry.
