I want to eliminate all the plastic from our backyard and turn it into a natural playscape. I want to create a mud kitchen, grow a sunflower house, do some container gardening, maybe a music wall, things like that. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear/see any suggestions, advice, links, anything at all anyone can offer. The kids love to climb so need suggestions in that realm too. I have some ideas in my pinterest but wanted to ask(beg) here too. 
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
