Wall gardens

I think that the idea of a wall garden is great! Now anyone who lives in an Urban setting or where space is at a premium can grow their own food.

Outdoor office spaces

During the Summer months I often work outside. I find that I work better when I am surrounded by trees and can breathe in the fresh air. I also love to hear the birds and watch the squirrels sprinting from tree to tree. A couple of years ago I came across a structure called the cube. It was a free standing structure that had four sides that were half open and half glass. It was very Zen and I thought that it would be a great space to work in. Today there are some much more advanced versions of the Cube that are made to be outdoor offices. Check out these examples from POD.
