Glad Monday GPODers!
We’re getting actual artsy right now with a submission from Tracy Lewis in Denver, Colorado. Tracy has been rising greens in her backyard for a number of years now, producing sufficient to feed her household and assist out some neighbors, a formidable and attention-grabbing backyard in and of itself, however the addition of a wonderful garden-themed mural is what actually introduced the house to a different stage:
After having constructed and eight raised backyard beds on the start of COVID and including a number of beehives 2 years later, our backyard has amassed sufficient meals to feed us and a few neighbors from Could via October right here in Denver. I felt like there was one thing lacking with our stark white home because the backdrop to the north whereas the remainder was surrounded by inexperienced timber and grasses. So I requested an artist if he’d think about portray the facet of our home and maybe adorn it with a few of my favourite flowers so I may see them yr spherical. Matt Kress obliged me and made an homage to my peonies AND my bees!
A large view of the backyard offers a glimpse in any respect the rising and having fun with that occurs right here. Rows of raised beds means there’s ample room for every kind of edibles, however huge gravel paths create plenty of areas to stroll, discover and delight within the house.
I completely adore that Tracy consists of suave touches all all through the house. Understandably, veggie gardens can generally be considered and designed round utility, not at all times getting the inventive touches which can be all so widespread in decorative beds. However simply because an area is working exhausting, doesn’t imply it will probably’t be enjoyable, too.
Even Tracy’s beehives are colourful and artistic! The “Honey, I’m dwelling” signal on the underside is such a intelligent and cute contact.
An ideal body for an exquisite piece of artwork, crops!
I can’t even think about this house with a clean white wall! I couldn’t agree with Tracy extra that this artwork was precisely what this house was lacking. And a really funky backyard bench permits you to sit and spend as a lot time as you want taking all of it in.
Although a particularly productive backyard house, Tracy nonetheless left some room for traditional ornamentals. The pink peonies that impressed Matt’s art work taking middle stage and glowing within the Colorado solar.
Lastly, blue delphiniums including pops of cooling blue to the panorama, with the unimaginable circle entrance to the backyard behind.
Thanks for sharing your inspiring backyard and it’s unimaginable art work with us, Tracy!
