Spring 2021. I thought that by now we might have rebuilt the garden, but the universe had some other plans this past year. From Opa’s original garden, there are three beds that are in decent enough shape to be used again. We spent an afternoon recently weeding them and prepping to plant a smaller summer garden soon. Three and a half (long) years later, #opasgardengrowsagain ♥️🌱

Update! Me and @beautifultrees07 built these planter boxes today! The sun set and we ran out of screws before we could start the compost box I mentioned in previous posts but it’s a great start to a future vegetable garden! Some of the square dowels had knots in them (impossible to drill through) so we had to drill around them or be mindful of the positioning/switch out some dowels. Other than that, it was pretty smooth and easy for two people who rarely work with wood. I chose cedar instead of redwood for these boxes because it was cheaper and I hear cedar is more resistant to rotting when it comes in contact with water. All together, paying for materials and wood cutting services for two planter boxes (at home depot) cost $43 before tax ($47.05 after tax)

Went to the local home and garden place and this was one of their planter box displays. The rosette was bigger than my fist. 😻

This custom-built Brooklyn Heights roof deck features amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline.  We wanted the garden to feel like a lush little sanctuary with lots of warm wood tones, a jacuzzi, privacy screens, gorgeous ceramic pots, and a relaxing Zen vibe.
