In Wairoa, Vicky White transformed her small property into a thriving food forest alongside her tiny home. To revitalise an old storage caravan, she commissioned local artist Rebecca Stone for a vibrant mural.

The colourful artwork features native birds and plants like pīwakawaka and sunflowers, providing a cheerful view. This creative upcycling project was a runner-up in NZ Gardener’s Resene Shed of the Year competition, showcasing an inspiring blend of sustainable living and personal artistic expression.
