The Garden Gate

This is a drawing done by a local artist Jim Knoke's who actually built this garden gate out of iron leading to our front door.
The artist sketches are as beautiful as the gate he built.
I asked him if he could create the Kiwi leaves coming down the gate out of old rusty steel.
He hadn't done this type of project before,
but cherished the challenge.
I sent him pictures of actual Kiwi leaves and he made patterns of them to place on steel.
He made sure the edges of the leaves would be safe
with no cutting edges.
A one of a kind masterpiece of art.
It's a beautiful gate no matter what the season is.

It's been a long time sense I've worked in the garden

 It felt good to get my hands dirty
 I made business cards for our guest suite rental
 Working on the landscape for the guest suite rental entrance, yellow tree rose, and some herbs, later I'll plant purple iris bulbs
 3 yards of gravel to move in the new path by the garage
 Cleaned out 3 raised beds today
 Kale anyone?
 The first raised bed is clean
 The second raised bed, I transplanted lavender and ginger into
 Lots of green tomatoes
The third raised bed cleaned/ sad two large boxwood died
