Garden Features and giveaway!


I love the garden, and all the fun junk I can hide inside it.
             

This is usually the other way, designed to have those coconut husks and dirt and then planted with flowers. I just don't like the way they don't hold water so I simply invert it and use it as a piece of art. It was 50 cents at a sale.
The frogs are ashamed of the dirty water!!
                      metal flowers- from the dollar store.
                 metal moth! (saved from the trash)


These tomato cages, my husband made out of pig wire. All of it....was thrown out during clean up week! What a find. I think they take on a bit of a big city sky scraper look. Birds love to sit on them and every morning when I go to the garden several are perched here.

The pagoda style arch was also built by my husband. 
My old fence flag was a gift from a friend!











                I love the old rusty shovel.

This shovel handle actually helps hold up the trellis the clematis is on. It gets quite heavy, I like to peek inside and see something unexpected.

every garden needs the little red wagon, this one was 50 cents a a garage sale...can you believe it????
Later Alligator  Thanks for stopping by!!
Be sure and check out my giveaway click HERE!

I'm so glad you linked this post to Favorite Things Saturday. I love that you said a lot of fun junk can be hidden in the yard, and I laughed about the cute frogs being ashamed of the dirty water! I didn't remember reading that when I was here the other day. Thank you so much for linking up. laurie
