I was playing with SketchUp last night. I bought a gardening magazine (or book as they call it since it has no ads) at costco called Easy Weekend Gardening. It’s really good and full of information, unlike a lot of gardening mags which just have pretty pictures. Anyway there’s a plan for a wood bench in there that I really like. I intend to build it for the front “secret” garden.

My mom and I also have plans to replace our front gate with wood arbor and gate, and put wood privacy fencing over the existing fence between the garage and house. I really liked the slightly asian feel of the bench so I decided to take some elements from that and put it into the arbor. We also have a lot of the wood work in our decks forming V’s for our last name so I wanted to add that element as well. I had some problems getting it the way I wanted so I’ll probably just draw it out or use illustrator.

Anyway SketchUp is free program for windows or osx and it’s pretty darn cool.
