A Twig Arbor for The Thicket


Before I came along, people used The Thicket as a dumping ground for everything from their old lawnmowers to broken windows to every imaginable type of yard waste. Lucky for me (and them), they also left me a veritable wealth of twigs to play with.


So, to welcome them to the new-and-improved thicket, I made them an entrance way. I took all their twigs, and sticks, and branches and made them this pretty arbor with matching twig hedges.


I wonder what they'll leave the next time they pay a visit...

    Wow. That's beautiful---and so generous of you. What a gift you've given everyone. I hope they'll give in return.

      Thanks Melissa. I hope so too. And I hope this will be a reminder that everyone uses this area and that it is everyone's job to care for it.

    Very clever Michelle ! Looks very autumnal and I'm sure there'll be much nice surprise to find next time.

    It's great that you cleaned up that area. Not many folks would do that.
