In the 33 years that I've resided in my home, my garden has been a labor of love through trial and error. Over the years, the pachysandra, myrtle and ivy, albeit lovely, has added challenges to plantings; some flowers do well, others wither away.
The garden runs the entire length of my yard and the backdrop of the fence allows me to hang many whimsical garden treasures which I adore collecting!
Because of the ground cover, I display a lot of chairs in the garden which not only adds color but interest as well.
I love the repurposed bird house I purchased at a vintage market "will wrent for a song"! The garden plate was a fun project, made some to sell and kept a few for myself!
Had a blast painting and repurposing an old window for the fence! Kind of funky and charming with the vintage garden signage, don't you think?
My herb garden in an wooden palette. This year the addition of moss has kept the dirt in place and makes it look more earthy and woodsy! I love it!
Every year I plant scarlet runner beans, the pods produce a plethora of seeds for the next year! The rabbits ate the first planting so I had to put the plant on the stepladder but I love the way it looks. Old galvanized bucket and child's hoe add to the vignette.
When I lost a tree in the yard, I utilized the stump very nicely for a little succulent fairy garden!
I love finding unique things for my garden... the cool gazing ball and ceramic bird totem pole were discovered at a art festival!
And my garden door1 My son loves to recount the tale about the day on his to-do list was "paint the door in the garden yellow"! It adds whimsy for sure... I wanted to conceal a not so pretty area and ferns are now filling in lending a wispy look.
My friend gave me the garden angel! May all good fairies and angels find happiness in my garden!
Hope you've enjoyed my gardens. They are kind of wild, crazy and not so manicured, but they suit me just fine!
