Today, I would like to share "Pirate's Garden", as which my garden friend, Mackky, calls his back yard.
Firstly, want show you a pergola in the following photo.
Mackky built it from an impression of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Let's take a look!
Sedum has grown beautifully around bricks!
A colorful shelf has been fixed on a wall.
He painted not only the shelf, but also this saw!
Believe it or not, a new saw was painted as if it got rusted!!! What a talented painter!!
Okay, let's take a look into the shelf!
It has many interesting items, doesn't it?
This lovely sign has also been made by himself.
To make its rounded shape, after cutting the boards roughly, he burned, painted , and sanded them. Amazing!
Can you see something long materials embedded in the ground?
They are train tracks!
He mentioned that he got the real ones!!!
Okay, let's get on a train and arrive at the station, then, what we can find is...
Wooooow! a treasure map!!!
Now that we get a treasure map, open the white door, let's go looking for treasures:)
As you see, his garden has a story, which reminds us of childhoods' memories.
Actually, he lives in an apartment, and his room is on the first floor.
His garden may not be as big as yours,
but it always inspires me!!
It is an inspiring garden! This was a fun visit to follow and I enjoyed seeing the special objects on display there. Pretty colors on the wall shelf. I like the row of lantern stands along the side of the fence.
ReplyDeleteA very cool garden!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Keity!
ReplyDeleteThe most I liked is the train tracks! It was my memory too!
Beautiful !....happy sunday....love Ria...x!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this garden! I recently located to a postage stamp sized garden, so I've become quite interested in the smaller gardens, and am amazed with what one can do with a small space. I really like how your friend had incorporated the pirate theme so skillfully in his garden. His garden is an inspiration. I follow a blog of another accomplished postage stamp gardener who has been/will be an inspiration for me, Keity. Here's the link to her blog if you'd like to take a look: http://graphicality-uk.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the garden tour. All the best! :-)
