I love walled gardens--I love the way you walk into them and suddenly you're in a new world, I love the way you are free to create that world within those walls, I love designing the systems for that world and endlessly tweaking and improving them.
So I was thrilled when I was given "squatter's rights" to the dead end of an alley. Wedged between 3 properties, it was basically a walled garden with one open side.
Above you can see two views of the same space.
The picture on the left shows the alley as it was gifted to me. The image on the right shows the alley as it appears now--a work in progress. Images of the component projects and the overall progression are shown below and you can click on the links in red to get more detail.
