PS #25: Brick and Order

Today we decided to work on the more decorative side of our greenhouse.

With the door finished recently, we wanted to spruce up the look of the entrance to make any guests feel right at home. The doorway is also a bit higher than the ground, so we don’t want anyone to trip over it, especially when transporting heavy or cumbersome equipment.

We were allowed to use these old bricks by the port-a-potty area for our design. We had to take them out ourselves and then we had a few people transporting them to the greenhouse which was on the complete opposite end of the garden. Sure, we got to use wheelbarrows, but it still took a few trips and some focus to complete.

After we transported all of the bricks, we moved on to the design part. We set up a palette and got to work trying to arrange the bricks to look nice. There were a few different types of sizes that the bricks came in and at different counts too, so this process took a while until we found a design that satisfied us. We then worked to clear the space in front of the door. We used sand to help keep the floor as level as possible as it would conform to the placement of our bricks and we filled the gaps between the bricks with it after completing the design. With the entrance done our greenhouse looks a bit more presentable and closer to being finished.

Grow with the flow!
