But would a world of brightly colour ladders be any good? Let’s find out.
Today we are flying over to Columbia River Gorge, USA to take a look at someone who is trying to make a big impact with local farmers using only pots of paint and a few tripod garden ladders (or fruit ladders as they call them in those parts). Read the rest of this entry »
