someday the highline trail
I'm a big fan of the High Line project in New York City and I can't wait to visit it (some far distant day). I patronize its nature of essentially being one large urban recycle project, mixed with wild and natural plants.

Garden Rooms: Examples Shown From Morinda Gardens, Provo UT (Tahitian Noni International)
Garden Rooms hold a special place in the world of landscape architecture. Recently Deseret News ran an article I wrote on Garden Rooms.
Perhaps there is not a more enchanting place than a mid-summer botanical garden full of color, natural fragrance and vegetation. You can bring this same beauty to your back yard by applying some of the same design principles used in your home to create a garden room or an exterior gathering place.
The garden room can serve as a place for outdoor entertaining, a space for growing delicious fruits and vegetables or a sanctuary busy with humming birds or bees spreading pollen. If created and maintained properly, the garden room can be the treasure of any residential landscape.

Morinda Gardens in Provo, UT (Tahitian Noni International) offer great examples of Garden Rooms (as described in my article). The overall design of Morinda Gardens was done by MHTN. The photos below of Morinda Gardens were taken by Jake Young. FYI you have to have permission ahead of time to take photos of the gardens. So call ahead and be prepared to pay a fee (if you must take photos), if not just enjoy.

This week, we invited Jake Young to be guest columnist to discuss possibilities to be explored and developed in your own outside living spaces. If we keep talking about spring, maybe it will finally come.
