Description

Actually from oak trees into flowerbeds and real beds! Two years ago a whirlwind hit the area and uprooted two of Delia's oak trees. BTW, whilrwinds and storms are far from uncommon in the plain areas of this region. Anyway, Delia and her husband, Arduino, decided to use the bases of the oaks as bedflowers, and the rest of the wood to make new beds for themselves and their son. Here you can see the oak flowerbeds (one is beyond the tree on the left) along the entrance path. They are almost opposite the sunflowers I already posted. Maybe you can also see how some roots of the closest flowerbed form a dragon's head. Delia has painted its tongue red and is working on it. Thank you for your kind comments.

This is a marvelous idea!! We lost a few trees to IKE. I made one flower bed from cut logs from the tree!!

Sandra this is really wonderful, and what a creative use of the debris from a terrible event. This is one that truly inspires for so many reasons

Inventive use for downed trees! Most people here would just have em chopped up and hauled off. (then go out and spend several thousand on real wood furniture)
