My Tipis Acent The Gardens
admin May 31st, 2008
I love summer - each year I plant the gardens a little different and each year, I get to sit or around in my tipi and enjoy them. One problem us the herbs that I planted a few years back, seams most of them would rather grow in the pathways than in the herb beds. Nice part is it smells real good when you walk up to the tipi.
These pictures of my tipis and my garden were taken today. I’ll post more as the garden around the tipis grows. I’ll need to cut the dill and oregano in the path to the tipi pretty soon or I won’t be able to get in my tipi - and that would be bad!

I am so glad to see websites and articles like this one showing that teepees do not belong to history, but to the present. The more I am researching about contemporary uses of teepee, the more I find potential in this incredible technology. Recently, I have found an article online about a very practical contemporary use of this traditional shelter: a guest house. More and more house owners, as well Bed & Breakfast owners have chosen the teepee as an alternative house extension. Indeed, it can be set up very easily in the garden, when extra guests need a room, and taken down even more easily when they leave. To add to this, it is cheaper, greener, and more fun. The teepee can only be a great addition to a guest house, B&B, or lodge, bringing curious clients willing to try something different, or desiring to spend nights closer to Mother Earth. I have a Mukwa Teepee myself, and use it for camping, as a portable clothing store, an information booth, etc.
Thanks Giwiselnini,
I couldn’t agree more. The tipis in my yard make my small patch of dirt in the middle of town bearable - in fact, very livable.
Reminds me - I need to mow the grass and take a few pictures.
