OH! to "find" such a treasure trove!!!!
Will you be passing through Pittsburgh anytime soon????

I don't remember seeing it before.

WOW - Beautiful and GREAT ideas!

Thank you Tee

Yes what a find of great things,sad thing about the boy,and the disruption of making a living.. Im thinking what Id be doing with that Pot....

Here is what Ive been working on,12 potting chairs....paint,paint,seal...Next Plant...I have 1 left that needs sealed,this photo was before I finished them..

Song - excellent link.
BUT now I have a whole new website to explre - and since I'm compulsively thorough, it may take a long time .

SO I say turn about is fair play.
I'll see your doors and raise you some windows! :lol:

Anyone else want to ante up some good reduce, reuse, recycle, REscue, refurbish, rejoice links?


I could be online all week....

Critter, great link as well. Going to explore ... and that could also take awhile.

Tam, the chairs are looking great!

lovely door link... great to see lots of Hundertwasser the father of green roofs and other building inovations.. things here... there was a mural of his nearby that they had removed and was to be a centerpiece for a gallery of his work.. but I don't think they got it reinstalled... someone not knowing it's value gave it away to this person that removed it and got it preserved ..
yes.. they left alot of great things in the store... the biggestt was the store it' self.. they signed a 5 year lease.. renovated and then walked away after three years.. continuing to pay the rent for the 5 years.. about 20 G/mo wasted

When I saw your pictures, I pictured myself just moving in and "fleshing it out" for a home!

I do have my fantasies....

Tamara, you are really going to town with your chairs! Wil you be selling them somewhere?

well..I have o get measurements before getting the car behind the barracades... I di go out wireing.. but no trip to the big pot.. the residence of the daughter of a couple I help with their apartment house.. she was busy quilting...

them back to move all the plants on the floor to the roof..up the ladder with 80 lb plannts.. tomorrow the eppi's and clearodendrum.... ug... then the passifloras...

BEAUTIFUL quilt! Be careful with those plants! Don't hurt your back

Yikes. Talk about taking gardening to new heights.

That quilt is beautiful. So many quilts have garden themes as well. I don't know the name of that one. Does anyone?

Well, I want to thank you all for providing me with lots of good links and creative projects to look at while I am not sleeping! So creative! Gordon, for me and others who aren't completely familiar with how you garden... you live in New York and garden on your rooftop? Is that correct? Can we see some pictures? I think I've seen a few but I'd love to see more!

I don't think Gordon will mind me giving his gardens some more publicity:

And some more new pictures would be great as well.

boo,yes Im selling them at a fund raiser for our Humane Society....We hold a Perennial plant sale in may,Ive got 12 chairs 2 wallpocket planters and a matching hanging planter,Lotsof Perennials...I will be filling the chairs full of flowers,have 12 inch pots for them...Wanted to do chicken wire baskets under the seats,too time consumming and the cost of coco liners...So we decided it was best to use Large pots..The dh reinforced the seat bottoms after cutting the holes,some have hardware wire in the seat bottoms to hold the pots.I didnt get to fancy on the paint....Ive already got a bit of time in them,I want to do one for myself ....

HA HA HA Tee.. Speaking of new heights... it's planting season here... and roof gardening is in full swing... I was passing by and got this planting picture.....if you've plenty of available cash and a roof you'd like to populate with full grown trees...today.. and now wait for them to grow out... this is the "A Ticket".. everything I have in my garden.. got there by carrring everything up on my back.. or you can get a crane..

it looks to be about 26 floors tall... this is the shot I got driving by.. you can just barely see the green up around the top floor

oh.. I was doing some lighting in a friends garden the other day.. these are a few of her native bog gardens awakening.. from outside wintering... little pitcher plants.. and a bunch of things I have no idea about.. the yellow flowering bog plant.. is so cute.. it looks like something from a faries dream





this is another... auto focus missed it and got the background... I wasn't going to post it... it being so out of focus... but it's out of a bog plant.. a tall.. maybe 24" tall flower spike.. in this light pink.. and on the tip of every branch of the spike the tinyest bright sparkling blue flower..

Those rooftop gardens are simply amazing. I am always amazed by the way they put things in place with cranes in NYC. The whole process is just mesmerizing. Nice pitchers, BTW.

Tam, ya gotta make a chair for yourself. Your Humane Society is fortunate to have these for the fundraiser.

New york city,,roof top gardens ...Too Cool

Tee,I saved a ladder back with a woven seat that is coming off,and a small rocker..Oh and we picked up 2 patio chairs they are redwood,not real big ,well built,with nuts and bolts..just right,need painted and cushions..Not putting flowers in those

Gordon, thank you for showing us a whole 'nother world - at least for me

Tamara, your chairs are so cool!

Tamara, you know how sometimes things just work out for the best? Well, the way you ended up slipping the pots through the hole is one of those! The reason is that I loved being able to raise my pot out of the hole to change things around, prune it etc.
