DSC_2950 When I visited Karen & Dwight Sigworth’s Portland garden last week, I was awed by the greenhouse, which happened to be fitted with a recycled door and windows (see them in last Wednesday’s blog).

But those weren’t the only recycled pieces in the garden. The Sigworths’ ivy-covered garden wall also has a built-in recycled door and windows (top), and their woodshed (bottom) has more recycled windows—windows without walls. See a trend here?

You can see Sigworths’ garden yourself tomorrow on the Seeding Our Future garden tour, sponsored by the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools.

Fun to see photos of our garden on your blog, Jim. I wanted to add that our greenhouse, woodshed and a number of other hardscape elements in our garden were built by Ed Sullivan, who contributed significantly to their design as well. Dwight and I look forward to visitng with tour guests!
