Gallery Yards
I pass many yards in Edmonton that are just normal looking properties.
Most have grass in the front, a few bushes and trees, and some have no landscaping whatsoever.
Then, I turn a corner on my walk and all of a sudden one house will have their entire lot turned into an ‘art gallery’ of their personal creations!
Have you ever noticed homes like this in your neighbourhoods?
They certainly are eye catching. Sometimes they just look junky (personal opinion) and sometimes they are really fun and make you want to stop and look around.
I’ve seen people make mandalas out of beer cans and hang them on their fences, wind chimes made out of bottles, all manner of birdhouses, and entire flower gardens where every single flower is a hand made piece of artwork.
They say, “Your home is your castle”, and I’ve seen a couple of renovated “Castle homes” too.
You never know what you’ll see if you take the time to look around.
How do you decorate YOUR yard?
