City garden

I do enjoy other peoples' comments on my photos - its like getting to know them so well!

This was a shot I wanted to get for a while. Amongst office blocks and beside a driveway there is a fabulous vegetable garden! In the summer it has peas, lettuces, potatoes,corn, beans & cabbage etc but now its just parsley and pansies.
Three good things:
1. Found out how to find the radio on the tiny stereo system hidden in a cupboard in the caravan! But a big sound.
2. Next door neighbour who bought a motorhome and it was delivered at same time as our caravan, went away a few days ago and was enjoying it until they realised snow was falling. Crept down the steep incline from above a big dam and came home safely!
3. Transferred a big file from one computer to another via “thunderbolt”
How lovely & who can pick & eat these veggies Maggie? Great idea as long as the more needy get the chance to have them.
I agree about the comments! You will learn stuff all the time about your new holiday home! Your next door neighbours were brave!

@happypat I don't know who gets them but its very close to the Benefit Building but even they probably don't pinch them.

Beautiful garden. I agree about the comments. 365 people feel a bit like family.

@hjbenson A rabbit wouldn't dare to be down here in the middle of the town, Harry! As for deer - they stay on the very high country!

A beautiful mosaic wall next to the pansies draws the eye to this very colorful shot. Love hearing about all your discoveries.

Lovely mosaic and cool image

Love mosaic colors, shapes...I enjoy the comments too. Although there are times (quite a few) when I don't have time to comment at length which is frustrating...like this is a long comment for me :).

What a lovely border with the vibrant mosaic colors!

Very pretty, I love the mosaic.

@seattlite I think it also helps if you can type fast. I type as fast as I can talk so I just 'say' something that comes to mind!

I like the mosaic border of the garden!

Beautiful mosaic and great idea, to squeeze a garden in this space. I love the idea of a motorhome... so enticing!

Very attrractive!

@kandkids This mosaic decoration has just been recently added, Karen. The garden has been around for a couple of years and I have admired the gardeners' devotion to it (but never seen)

The mosaic is attractive, and you have captured your perception of the urban garden and interest of the idea well.

Very impressive, even in the middle of the winter.

@yaorenliu Yes right - we have had a few frosts but maybe the next door business buildings are warm enough to help this garden to be alive!

@jaffacakes I think the word 'urban garden' is much better than mine of a 'city garden'!
August 2nd, 2016  
What a great idea.
August 2nd, 2016  
nice that they share their talents instead of hiding them behind a wall.
August 2nd, 2016  
Awesome shot

Such a great idea. Think this has been happening in city spaces in the UK but I live out in the countryside so don't see it.
August 2nd, 2016  
A lovely spot of green in the middle of all those office blocks!
August 2nd, 2016  
I love that wall, the flowers look beautiful against it.
August 2nd, 2016  
love that mosaic border! excellent way to grow veggies

Love the idea of having vegetables instead of flowers in public garden : it's pretty and useful !
August 3rd, 2016  
Another sharing and friendly idea.

Lovely mosaic wall surrounding it. Very eye caching.
