Flickr Finds: Yourbuddylacy's Garden

Some new stuff in flickr from reader Lacy, who thanked the AT community for sending her to the Brown Elephant. Her goal: to liven up her plants with more light.

After some helpful suggestions from the folks at AT:Chicago, I hit the Brown Elephant in Andersonville. The manager cut me a deal on three enormous old dresser mirrors. For the record - the idea of spilling vines over the wall was also awesome, but the planting area in question was occupied. And vines need more sun than my garden gets, apparently. Boo.
