Garden Art?

Garden art.

Agreed?

This picturesque scene can be found

at the Toledo Botanical Gardens...

and I don't think anyone

would disagree if I called it...

Beautiful.

Enchanting.

It's fun to tour friends and

neighbors yards to get a feel for their

artful expressions.

Today...

we're going to take a walk around

my garden.

Art?

That's a man's name!

An old wooden wagon

holding garden trays to be used

or returned to the garden center.

A rusty trike...

also serves as a hose guide. A "my man" made cuke trellis... a one-of-a-kind original. Tomatoes... in old (10 years) metal cages. A carved tree stump (circa 1998)... made into a sundial. This is truly a work of wonder designed and created by my nephew Mike Manore... who, in my opinion, should be doing this for a living! Weathering beautifully!

A gated milkweed community.

Monarchs Welcome!

This idea was presented in my newest read...

Modern Homestead

Grow, Raise, Create

by...

Renee Wilkinson.

Utilizing garage and attic finds

to create an eclectic

container garden.

Not a statue...

our dog Zoe.

Always standing (or in this case lying)

guard.

More funky gardening.

Creating space for herbs, pole beans, and lettuce.

Right outside my back door.

I just love this piece of sculpture!

After only 3 days...

my lettuce spouted!

Can hardly wait for that yummy salad.

Same here...seeds really do grow.

This is my newest revelation.

More beans...

for making music.

Cans?

"Rusting up" for a project I hope to work on

soon.

Little bird houses...all in a row.

Maybe that's why I've been getting visited

recently by the finches and blue jays...

they've been scoping out the real estate!

Each house was made/ given to me

by a family member.

Not your typical art.

But art none the less!

So ends my garden tour...

have a lovely day.

Find the "art" in your garten.
