Sue: So this is a tire retaining wall. We made it by taking off one of the walls, one of the sidewalls of the tires, and then turning them inside out. So they look more for the same. And I planted them with succulents and various kinds of herbs, like Thyme and Rosemary and so forth.

Courtney Brooke: So how long has this wall been here?

Sue:  Well, I would say it’s been here maybe two and a half years or so. Or maybe three years. I’m not sure. Every year I have to weed it. In some years, I have to put more stuff in it. Somethings die, but I try to keep it up.
Courtney Brooke: How long did it take you to make this wall?

Sue: I don’t remember. I don’t remember a long time, I guess. They call it, tire wrestling, turning the tires inside out, it’s really hard.

Courtney Brooke:  Where did you get all these tires?

Sue: From the tire dealers.  They have to pay to have them recycled, so they give them away.

Courtney Brooke: So beautiful.
