  1. Backyard Canvas: Adam Schwerner's urban garden

    On a quiet street of century-old cottages in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood sits a house that stands out. It could be the trio of blue wooden ladders rising from the miniature woodland. Or perhaps it's the row of old doors painted in eye-popping hues that line the narrow gangway. There's the terra cotta bowl filled with red glass shards that sprouts "antennae" made from discarded drip irrigation hoses. And there's the rustic wood-hewn arbor over the gate that's flanked by an iron fence topped with yellow-tipped bedsprings. The entire composition tends to stop people in their tracks.
