Wairoa resident Vicky White has transformed her small property into a unique living space, featuring a tiny home and a thriving food forest. An old storage caravan was given a new life with a vibrant mural.

Local artist Rebecca Stone painted the caravan with a design inspired by White's favourite things, including pīwakawaka, sunflowers, and tūī. The colourful project was a runner-up in the Resene Shed of the Year competition, adding a cheerful view to her sustainable lifestyle.
