The largest botanic garden to focus on plants native to California. This private research and educational institution was founded in 1927 in Claremont, California. A spectacular display of the state’s wildflowers is a major attraction from March through May.
Sheds are often thought of as the non-residential building at the bottom of the garden or the allotment. They can contain a variety of items that can’t find a place in the home, such as: empty flower pots, old tins of paint, bicycles and garden tools. General sheds, or garden sheds are usually small and made out of wood. They come in a variety of sizes as DIY kits, or for the adventurous, there are shed plans if the shed is to be built from scratch. Small sheds can either be; a corner shed, for example: 3’ high x 3’ wide x 2’ deep, a vertical shed, for example: 5’ high x 3’ wide x 4’ deep, or a horizontal shed, for example 3’ high x 5’ wide x 4’ deep.
Larger sheds are available to hold bigger pieces of equipment: ride-on lawn mowers, quad bikes, and motorbikes. A larger shed tends to come with more options, such as: windows and electrical outlets, porches, verandas and sliding doors, as well as decorative additions, for example: window shutters and flower boxes. Larger sheds can be ideal if space is short in the home; they can be converted into an office, a playroom or a hobby room, etc. (more…)
