GARAGE GARDEN
Do you like this story?
View from my window
It's bare now and devoid of life but my neighbor's garage garden was an oasis from the rest of the world this past Summer. The huge tree beside it leafs out and the large Spruce on the other side provides privacy.
I featured this garden on our garden walk and visitors were enchanted with it. You can't see it in the photo but the homeowner used vacant space next to the garage for an Asian Tearoom where one can sit in a Japanese style rock garden.
This is a shot of what it looked like back in the Summer :
Many developers are not leaving space for front or back gardens and rooftop gardens are becoming popular. Gardening on a rooftop is a real challenge and not for the meek. I have many rooftop garden customers at the garden center and when they ask me what tree is the most durable for Chicago's cold winters and hot summers I always answer : Pines.
