Industrial Garden Tour

There is an industrial area near my house.  It some how makes the gardens seem that much more special when they're unexpected.  Here are a few photos of people making unappealing areas into beautiful spaces.

Vegetable plots and wild flowers in front of recycling centre. 

Lily pads and goldfish in a retaining bed fronting an industry building.

Dr. Seus tree looking a little worse for wear.  But adds interest to that bare wall. 

okay, maybe it's not a garden. But, it was the only green visible for a while.
