Make a rustic trellis. |
- Johnny Jump Ups planted in small galvanized buckets looks so charming!
- Plant half whiskey barrels tightly with strawberry plants.
- Scarecrows are not only useful, they're decorative.
- Check your nearest dollar store for really cute and cheap garden
decorations! They also have seeds sometimes 10 packets for $1.00.
- Make a rustic trellis by nailing or screwing branches together in
desired
shape.
- Tip a flowerpot (any size) over and have soil spill out of it. Plant
flowers in the soil for a charming spilled pot look.
- Old bowling balls can either be spray painted desired color or left
as-is
and used as a "garden sphere" that is so popular in gardens If you
don't
have a bowling ball, check the thrift stores or yard sales to get one
cheap.
- To spruce up a plain garage or house wall in the garden, nail strips of
wood onto the wall in a paned-window shape. Paint desired color, add
window-box full of planted flowers, grow a flowering vine over it, or
even
hang silk flowers over it.

RE: Garden Decor Ideas
I love to recycle all sorts of objects in the garden anything from boots to old rusted combustion stoves -they make the best plant stands!
I'm currently trying to repair a old wood stove thats been converted to a gas bbq!
RE: Garden Decor Ideas
I HANG UNIQUE ITEMS IN THE TREES OFF MY DECK; I PUT A HIBACHI GRILL GRATE HANGING IN THE TREE; IT SPINS; I PAINTED OLD CD DISKS AND DRILLED A HOLE AND HUNG THEM IN THE TREE; I LEFT THE SHINY SIDE UNPAINTED SO IT SHIMMERS IN THE SUNLIGHT.
WE ARE REDOING A FLOWER BED WITH CONTAINERS, I WILL USE AN OLD CONSTRUCTION WHEELBARROW AND FILL IT WITH FLOWERS; MY HUSBAND IS MAKING A LARGE TROUGH TO HOLD FLOWERS, I HAVE SOME OLD PIECES OF FARM EQUIPMENT WHICH WILL EMBELLISH THE TROUGH, I USE OLD CONTAINERS SUCH AS OLD TEAPOTS, BUCKETS AND I HAVE AN OLD ENAMELED STOCKPOT THAT I USE AS A PLANTER.
I ALSO USE BROKEN POTS THAT I SET ON THEIR SIDES AND ALSO SET POTS ON THEIR SIDE WITH SOIL AND FLOWERS FLOWING OUT OF THEM.
I JUST GO THROUGH MY KITCHEN AND OTHER AREAS OF THE HOUSE; USE WHATEVER I CAN TO MAKE A UNIQUE GARDEN ART PIECE.
