Junk Garden in Manzanita Oregon

Remember Cart'M on the Oregon Coast? I decided that their demonstration garden deserved it's own post. The staff cultivates this delapidated delight next to the dump/recycling center/thrift store. The garden is created using throw-aways; PVC pipe, a bathtub, rusted old modes of transportation and even a gigantic satellite dish. Have a little meander.....




And remember...please stay on the path!

My favorite place in Oregon

Once upon a time, there was a magical place called Cart M. It was in a small town called Manzanita, on the Oregon Coast.

It was a cross between a dump, a recycling center and a thrift store! People came from miles around just to see it!

They had very special things there...like an avocado green toilet with a wooden seat!

And a big, beautiful piece of art made from thousands of recycled cans!

They made it very easy to figure out where to put stuff.

There were wonderful things to see inside the thrift store too! Like...

I always wanted a planter made from a cup and saucer and rick rack and pennies! Hooray for Cart M!
