Behind 18th and Spruce Street on Manning - a fire escape becomes an escape from a small apartment in the city |

Add color, prayer flags, and ivy and your cement and brick patio feels like a tiny oasis. |
This yard/garden was down a long narrow alley way. I love how the dwellers here added a large statue and nice lounge chairs. Small doesn't mean it can't be used. I've seen breeze ways and trash areas utilized to maximum pleasure!
This house clearly has owners with some money and good taste. Fancy sports car, grape vines and well maintained back area. There are twinkle lights and some other amenities. Pull the car out, add in a few tables and chairs and I could make this a happening alfresco dining spot!
Not so much a garden, but I was intrigued by the climbing trumpet vines and the barn-like doors. Even this little entry way or garage could be a fun party spot if you put a cafe table and two small chairs out here.
And then there's this over-grown spot. I pass by here often and NEVER realized that the over-grown weeds are over-taking a car AND a pick up truck! Hidden and reclaimed by nature. It's really too bad this has happened. On either side of this lot/driveway/potential garden of delights are two very nicely appointed back yards. The pick up and the car don't look to be in bad shape either. Knowing how fast weeds grow, my guess is this is only a summer's season's worth of growth. The ghetto palm tree may be a few years old.
