I have constructed a round flowerbed that is six foot in diameter. The bed is elevated twenty-four inches from the ground. A twenty-four-inch-tall band of steel contains the soil of the bed. I then created steel letterforms to spell out the phrase, "The earth laughs in flowers" (a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson). Around these letter frames will be colorful native flowers to accent the phrase and provide pollen to the near by beehives.
