#NewYearVibe #UrbanGardenDreams Kari's student Tytus created FAMILY OF THE GARDEN: This was white flowers that I painted. I don't know the kind of the flower. There are branches and beautiful shapes. The perfect garden would have a sun and roses. I worked hard.

Journee at Harvest Ridge Elementary created MY TREE GARDEN: I didn't know what to draw so I asked my mom for help and she said "Look outside, there's a garden around us." So I did a tree garden because there are different shapes and sizes of trees.
#UrbanGardenDreams #StudentCommunityArt Professional garden designers and horticulturists use aerial--or bird's eye--views to illustrate the full plan of space when they're creating gardens, such as the plan Natalie at BTC created as she "imagined the perspective of a garden from a bird's eye view."
Get your holiday art on! Gracious thanks to MOBOT's Members Board for being inspired by #UrbanGardenDreams to decorate @mobotmuseum.bsky.social's holiday tree with ALL the art supplies! Check out the tree and all the exhibitions through the 2023-24 holiday season.
Shadaun's GARDEN PARADISE sounds amazing. "I want people to see my garden as a very unpopular place. Cars do not come by the garden that much so it is a very quiet place for people. Especially for the neighborhood seniors and kids since they like quiet places often."
