I wonder if they contract the maintenance and some service will keep the plants appropriately sized?<br /><br />Spiky O, agreed!<br /><br />Denise, I almost included a bit about the food but then decided since I'm not a food blogger to delete that part. Of course I'm not a design blogger either but that didn't stop me from including those pictures! So...yes...the food was really good, we all enjoyed what we ordered and my husband especially enjoyed their "pretzel" bread.<br /><br />Alan, this could be dangerous...<br /><br />Nicole, I'll check out your post.<br /><br />ricki, true, now if he could just get a little free time away from that job of his.<br /><br />Heather, ha! Can you even imagine!!! That would be fabulous.<br /><br />Lauren, aha! You seem to be just the person who would know how to get a few made! (since you have all that groovy metal work in your garden).<br /><br />Gerhard, if Alan doesn't I might...<br /><br />Nat, good point and so true, I remember seeing these plants hanging off the side of rocks and steep cliffs.<br /><br />Kate, for sure...we can't have any of that pesky moisture trapped so close to the base of the plants.<br /><br />MulchMaid, for some reason I was thinking of these more as garden structure than art...but I suppose they are straddling a very thin line.<br /><br />Mark and Gaz, yes he does. He also turned down an invite to visit the Desert Botanical Garden with us because he didn't want to deal with me taking "thousands of pictures"...danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-75856724613027780712011-12-09T01:30:57.505-08:002011-12-09T01:30:57.505-08:00Your brother knows you so well!

In our winter-wet climate, it might require some tooling to get the retaining material right for plants with rot-prone bases.

In nature they often grow in the vertical zone, perhaps the drainage would be ideal enough to survive up here in the north. I like it, we've gotta talk to some metal fabricators!Nathttp://www.stupidgardenplants.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-76777317998476067222011-12-08T15:58:26.067-08:002011-12-08T15:58:26.067-08:00I want a few of these.
