Herb Gardens

So yesterday I went home in the freezing cold and I couldn't believe it myself, after all my moaning about the freeze, I decided to clear my tiny little front garden strip of old leaves and wind blown rubbish. Then I decided to plant two rose bushes that I bought 2 weeks ago.

This then got me thinking about my back garden, which is virtually a small strip of grass at the moment and one little piece of concrete slab.

Now my idea, for a long time, has been to plant out a herb garden, but as you know nothing sane is allowed in my world, so I got looking at wierd herb gardens and these are some of my findings along the way: 

(none of these are related to my designs but they are interesting never-the-less)

this is my personal favourite, a herb bath mat? Outrageous!

Scientist's Studios

So if a scientist could have a Studio instead of a Lab, what would it look like?

There would definitely be books

 




 

And, plenty of them!


Interesting wall charts

related to some form of science, of course!


Manuscripts

Scientific and plenty of gold!

Glass Apparatus

there has to be a bell jar in there somewhere, and a Klein bottle!

Plants

Most likely growing where they shouldn't

Insects

probably behind a piece of glass, in a dissected form or nesting somewhere that shouldn't

Something to look at the very big

like a telescope

Something to look at the very small

like a microscope

Some Models

as obscure as possible!

A gadget

Like a page turning robot, perhaps?
(Even though an ipod/pad might prove easier?)

A place to sit

or not?

A place to write

anywhere will do!

A  pile: organised, or not, or maybe categorised  ...

(don't touch, I know where everything is!)

An elaborate project to tinker with...

welcome, to my mind's scientific studio, it has been a pleasure sharing it with you.
