More homemade garden structures

Today we ’re revisit Wendy Ory ’s garden in the suburbia of Chicago , where I noticed two more beautiful garden social organisation created by Wendy ’s husband , Mike . It sure enough pays to have a better half who ’s ready to hand with a table saw ( I know this from experience … ) . Wendy say , “ The bridge is pattern after an ancient Chinese rainbow bridgework and progress of red cedar tree . Though it look frail , it is strong enough for adults to take the air across it . The trellis is built of reclaimed redwood trim from a house remodeling project . The design uses trigon to give the aspect of an evergreen plant Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree with a nest in it . ” Great stuff and nonsense , Wendy ! Mike ’s a steward .
