Keep in mind when you are gardening with teenagers you must let them add a little of their personality...which is a small price to pay for their labor. (and it's just paint) 
I still need to add more moss in areas...all in all I believe they did a great job. The wall sits on the edge of our property street side. We did get some curious looks, a few thumbs up and a couple shouts of "I love it!" 
Then the girls wanted to paint a cinder block all their own as a keepsake of our day....three of my girls on the right, their dear, dear friend on the left. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I am Thankful that these precious teenagers wanted to spend the day with me outside!

Darla, That is so cool! Really love the paintings and color choices. I know Pam will love this...I think it's fantastic how engaged you are with your kids!xxoogail
Darla, I feel so happy for you. It must be fun watching them release their creativity in the garden.
What a great project. It looks good and sounds like you all had fun.
The color is a great way to liven up that wall. The girls did a great job adding their own personality to it too. :)
I really like how it turned out! What a great idea.
Thanks for the link love, and how cool that you and your girls made your own version! The red adds a lot of zing, and their painted additions are cheerful and fun. And best of all you got to spend time with your kids. Win-win!
The red brightened the area and I like the patterns that the girls painted. The overall look's cool. You're lucky to have such wonderful helpers around.
I think the girls did a great job with the wall. I like their personal touches.
How sweet! They certainly did a wonderful job. I might have to come down and take a peek!
Hi Darla, The girls did a great job with their wall.... I love all of the colors and designs... It's neat to see teens working in the garden like that ---using their creativity...
Hugs,

What a cool idea, I love it! And I have the perfect spot for one too... My girls will love painting one too. :)
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, otherwise I might have never found you!
Wow, Darla, you're all so creative. That wall is fantastic already and so colorful. Great memories for the girls, too.
Wonderful idea and project! Sounds like you and the girls had a blast! Lovin' the wall and they spent the whole time with you!
Have a great weeek!
*hugs*Deb
Hi Darla. I had saw that idea on Pam's blog and thought it was so clever. Wow, the girls did a great job on painting and decorating it and I bet they had a lot of fun in the process.
Very creative, love the color! Great idea.
'hugs from afar'
Awesome! What a great garden spot with a message. A memory that the girls will have forever.
Lucky you I say to have all that youth to hang out with - makes you feel younger doesn't it. Great job on the painting and the plants. What a great idea too. Love it.
Fantastic job on the cinder blocks ~ and what a great way to spend time together. LOVE THIS IDEA!!
Very cool! I think those cinder block walls are very neat. How do you get the protruding blocks to hold plants?
What a great idea! My girls would probably love to get to paint my succulent wall that's made out of cinderblocks. How fun!
looks like the teens had fun and the end result is quite stunning.
The planter looks awesome Darla! Great job by the teens ;) Pam is right, a win/win for everyone!
That is just too cool!! I love your daughters' artwork. The placement of the cinders with the plants is just perfect. What a great project! I nominate you for garden mom of the year! :)
That is a great project. How sweet to be able to work on it together with your girls.
It turned out beautifully! That is such a cool design!!!
That is so creative! What a precious piece of art to have in your garden. I love the funky yet functional nature of it. You've got some creative girls there, Darla!
how sweet!
Your teenagers did a great job. How lucky of you to get their help...Christine
What a great idea!! It's beautiful! :-)
OMGoodness, I just called my Saint in to look at this! We will surely take on this project in our woods to replace our seasonal themed picket fence. I have another plan for the picket fence...
You have inspired future gardeners. How exciting to spend such precious time with your girls. I love the red, creative thinking going on.
I also finally got to look back at some of your posts and love all the blooms you already have. My plants are just now, ' b a r e l y ' peeking their noses above ground.
BlessYourhearts
Hey Darla,
I love it! I think it turned out great!
Hope you are well and thanks for checking in on me. I have been sick for about 3 weeks now. Just now feeling like my old self.
Hope you are enjoying this wonderful spring weather as much as I am.
A great way to get the teens involved - and they did a fantastic job!
Building memories that will be with you forever. Such a wonderful way to spend the day with your children.
What a display! Great that they were so willing and creative as well.
I picked up on your use of moss. I forget about the abundance of spanish moss and have some sheet moss from the florist as well.
Oh baby, that's so much better than gray. The girls were right and did a marvelous job. What an interestin' lawn project!!! :o)
God bless and have an amazin' day!!!
I love it Darla!!! a little whimsy to a great project!!! and all the memories you had help making!!! I might need to do this project one day myself!!!
Your one lucky Mom.. my three kids hated it when I would ask them to come out in the yard and give me a hand.. ewwww, bugs! Today they are grown and still do not garden..lol
Your cinder block art is really nice and now it's special!
Sandy
How cute!!
Love this idea!
Oh that looks great Darla! I like the plants that spill over there and it will look fantastic filled in!
I love your cinder block wall! I even love what the teenagers did with it!
Beautiful! I just saw this someplace else yesterday and thought it was a good idea. I love how yours is painted red. And I agree that is very special to have all the teens wanting to spend the day with you.
You guys are so creative! I forgot to look to see if you have your grill planted.
It looks fantastic! A big improvement over the gray for sure.
