Guest Gardener: Leah Rombro & Kenton Long in Baltimore, MD

All pictures by Leah Rombro

Urban wizards Rombro and Long converted a totally trashed yard, littered with urban garbage, into an artistic, productive garden.

Long initiated beutification efforts with the walls of his house, a structure slotted for demolition. Months of work rendered a clean palette for the artwork of Long, Rombro and their roommates.

Join two artists and give them a wreck, and see what happens:

Now the blue walls of this bathtub hold the rich soil of an herb garden:


________
Once a nightmare of glass shards and trash, now a sprawling pumpkin patch:

__________
Edible art:





Leah Rombro balances work and college while Long works as a graphic designer. Both create art in the Baltimore area. I hear they make a mean herb burger. . . .

As a post script, Kenton Long is my BROTHER. Yes, my little brother. I will not here include stories about him as a little brother, such as when he jumped up and down outside a piano recital, his little head framed in the large picture windows behind the performers. Needless to say I am delighted that he and Leah have such a great garden. . .wish I could have one of those yummy herb burgers. . .
