We’ve made a lot of progress on the flower pit over the past few weeks.
All of the brick work — including rebuilding the arch and re-grouting all of the joints — has been completed. We built the roof and started shingling the gable-ends, which will match the rest of our house. View the photo gallery.
As we’ve worked on the flower pit, we’ve had a lot of interest from neighbors and passers-by. I haven’t found a lot of information online about flower pits. A flower pit is basically an over-sized “cold frame,” is is used to protect house plants through the winter and to get an early start in the spring garden.
Stay tuned.
