Several folks on Hometalk have posted on those, Elisa, including these at a school: http://www.hometalk.com/diy/build/this-is-a-playground-that-i-designed-last-year-that-was-installed-at-a-local-atlanta-131545 You can use the search box at the top of the page to find other examples.

This is a playground that I designed last year that was installed at a Local Atlanta Preschool.

I tried strawberries in rain gutters. It did not work for me here in IN. I could not keep them watered enough...dried out very quickly...like in hours on a hot day.

No gardens, but the squirrels and coons kept destroying my bird feeders so we attached old gutters to the outside rail of the deck and everyone is happy
