Wayne’s Garden Railroad

A miniature landscape around a model train

Today Wayne Decker is partake photos of an strange backyard garden .

These are a few pic I have pick out of the garden railroad track I am construct . I know in Chubbuck , Idaho . I just started about three years ago and am slowly work up around the perimeter of my backyard . I seek to imbed perennial so they derive back each year . It has been fun watch it transform from nothing to a prospering garden full of colour and live with manybeneficial dirt ball . My favorite has been all the Apis mellifera . sum up the railway system to my garden has made it more pleasurable not only for me but for others who come by to see it . From the pictures you may see that I delight the garden year - round .

The box of the yard sport the railway and a traffic brightness level .

Usingsmall plantsalong the railway sustain the whole thing to descale , produce a miniature landscape around the railroad train .

A broad view testify just how across-the-board this railway line system is .

Many gardeners have garden beds along their fence , but this is something quite dissimilar and limited .

A daylily ( Hemerocallishybrid , Zones 5–9 ) in efflorescence bestow some summer color to the garden .

I have intercourse all the little point in this garden . It ’s a whole landscape painting of rock and water and plants for the geartrain to go through .

Here the railway take a head trip through the desert , with cacti and even a lilliputian building set in the gravel to give the outcome of an entirely different part of the world .
