Wish it were spring already?! Here is some inspiration for your outdoor space. This creative placemaking project, the Art Walk at Discovery District, is located in the University of Maryland research park. It’s a natural and inviting oasis in the middle parking lots and office buildings. More of these please! Here is your springtime outdoor checklist:

1. Bright Birdhouses
2. Shady Hammocks
3. Tree Trunk Seating
4. Live Music
5. Colored Glass

There is even a huge communal table with food trucks! Not sure that would work on a deck but a birdhouse is a good place to start.
