Oaklie: love the Polka Dot #Garden
The last surviving Ellis Island Ferry, The Yankee, built in 1907, has been transformed into one remarkable houseboat, complete with an irrigated vegetable garden growing in 104 used tires (the “Polka Dot Garden”), and a chicken coop. The houseboat was purchased and transformed by Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs (both designers), and is now docked in New York. The Yankee is a registered historical vessel with the National Registry of Historical Places. Photos by Navid Baraty.
