A Wabi Sabi Plinth

If you find the perfect pair of urns do not worry about their height.
.
Use a plinth if they must be higher.


Old urns, new to the site, with the perfect plinth, above.
.
The Long Barn, above, was made of terra cotta squares decades ago.  A few were found.
.
Sure, new plinths could have been bought or custom made for this site.  However, using the terra cotta squares is superior.  The best gardens have elements of the Poverty Cycle.  Put another way, wabi sabi must be included in every garden design.
.
Then there is Mary Kistner's, "It's what we do with what we have.", life motto.  Whenever I include Mary I know I'm doing the right thing, and I'm getting a little visit from her.  Sometimes I go so far as to ask, "What would Mary do?"

Mary, an artist,  was childless & died a widow in her 80's.  Her memorial service was at a museum in the main, huge, gallery.  Standing room only.
