A Wairoa resident transformed her tiny home property by creating a lush food forest and commissioning a vibrant mural for her storage caravan. The caravan, once rundown, now provides a cheerful view from her deck.

Local artist Rebecca Stone painted the caravan with a design featuring the owner's favourite things, including native birds like pīwakawaka and tūī. The unique project was a runner-up in the NZ Gardener Resene Shed of the Year competition.
