SEPTEMBER 2010

PORTA HEDGE @ FONDREN DRIVE

October 01 Update:

As of Saturday, October 1, The Porta Hedge has been relocated out of sight, behind a picket fence in the back yard of the residence at which it is sited, per the city of University Park’s request. A city official left notice on September 22 that the residence was in violation of city code by having a trailer parked in the front yard – the more common violation ‘Vegetation Obstruction’ was not cited. An exception from the city of University Park for the Porta Hedge is currently being sought.  Visitors are still welcome to schedule an appointment to see the Porta Hedge and we hope to return it to the front yard soon, where it can once again provide privacy to the residence.

Original Release:

Situated in a concrete front yard on Fondren Drive, just beyond the intersection with Airline, the Porta Hedge (Birder’s Retreat) is currently providing one University Park household some privacy and a bit of evergreen to look at out their window. From the Porta Hedge’s concealed interior space, individuals also have the opportunity to observe neighborhood birds (weather and temperatures permitting.)

Drive-by visitors are encouraged. Visits to the interior of the Porta Hedge are by appointment only. If you would like to spend some time inside the Porta Hedge, please contact Justin Shull to schedule a visit.

Visitor Information:

Location: Fondren Drive, just off the intersection with Airline in University Park
