For many years, I’ve fantasied about getting a funky vacant lot in Santa Fe and turning it into a poetry and sculpture garden as a kind of outsider art folly.
I’m getting closer–and may have actually found a lot. At least I know what the garbage receptacles will look like. This charming design from Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC.

I had a lot of great fun with my haiku postbox when haiku poet-in-residence for a year with a city central café. Everyday people could post a haiku, and I also ran two competitions with great prizes too! I got the cafe to be mentioned in the Lonely Planet Guide to Great Britain as the only haiku café in the country too! 🙂 Here’s two of the waitresses getting the giggles when we took photos to launch the haiku postbox: http://area17.blogspot.co.uk/2006/04/haiku-competition-oppo.html

So cool.
Very nice. Of course, the key to success is a having a good Realtor. 😉
Especially one who is a writer and gardener, right?
