I reported to a barn for work over the summer, while working as a landscaper & parks laborer. That barn was cleaned out, its refuse taken to the dumpster. On top of that pile, I found this baker's cabinet. I pulled it out & managed to fit it in my Jeep Wrangler. Over the course of the summer, this cabinet was transformed into a small greenhouse & drying place for my herb plants, and dubbed 'Herbidashery.'
