Outside my apartment there are these old-fashioned doors from the ol’ ice-refrigerator days. I am currently researching what would be some good flowers to put in a cedar container in this space. (Figure: autumn, chicago, container, no direct sun). I’ll post the pictures when I get them installed. I found out that the container should be 8″ tall. I was planning 4″. Oops. Gotta go back and buy more wood.

Cool! I had those when I lived up north too! You could plant almost any fall flower as most don’t need a lot [if any”> sun. Mums come to mind and they are plentiful [for example, you can buy them at the local Jewel”> You might also consider a fall ivy or a cold-weather moss which can look like a nice little velvet carpet; just to add some color. The other thing might be to do a colorful art glass installation. Just line up different colored and differently-shaped bottles [careful not to make it look like leftovers from a party”>. You probably aren’t allowed, but it would be fun to paint the doors different colors, or to paint an image of a flower box with fully-bloomed flowers.
Just a few ideas! Good luck!
