Like many of you, I am sure, I cannot help but evaluate landscapes rather than just observe them. To think of how the park on the corner could be improved, or what I would have done differently at a friend's newly landscaped yard or drawing inspiration from something I judge to be particularly well done.
Often times they are just fleeting thoughts, but there are other times, times where you d not want to forget and this blog is in part to help me remember.
The tennis court below is at a park halfway between my home and my parents. Public courts, no fee. Not usually that busy and somewhere I hope my husband and I might start playing next year.
There is a single vine growing up the far side of the fence and I stopped and took this shot because I imagined it with more vines.
Why not?
A highly public place to do a little guerrilla gardening.
I am thinking of morning glories. They are colourful and easy to grow and should self seed year after year.
I picture a variety of colours, deep purple, white, pink, heavenly blue. As if that will somehow feel more natural than a wall of solid colour.
Hopefully this post will keep me motivated and committed to follow through next spring.
I sure hope you follow through.. that spot could sure use a little TLC.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great location and I like the idea of putting my energy into a space I know people will use.

Great Idea! I love Morning Glories,and this would be an excellent spot for them.
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree, now I feel extra motivated to follow through.
DeleteFrom Australia Are you mad, morning glory? The courts will be engulfed, never to be seen again!
DeleteI hope they take off but I do not think it is as invasive here as what you see in Australia.
