This past weekend I went on the Historic Fort Worth garden tour. This is an annual event that provides a great opportunity to see some beautiful and unique gardens in the historic areas of Fort Worth.
The neatest feature I saw was the espalier tree. The forethought and perseverance to create such a work of art is inspiring. However, as a contractor, I do not recommend that you espalier a tree to your home. Read this for the reasons why.
There are numerous historic neighborhoods surrounding downtown Fort Worth that have all types of homes from modest bungalows to prominent estates. Historic Fort Worth, Inc. looks after these treasured neighborhoods by educating the public about the homes, and of the significance of maintaining their architectural integrity. Visit their web site here to learn more about this great organization and how you can be a part of the movement to learn about and preserve historic Fort Worth.
Take care,
Mike
