Happy Earth Day friends! What better way to
celebrate this important day of awareness than looking for new ways to GO GREEN
IN THE GARDEN? My pickin' friend Kelly, from " out west " is doing her part to GREEN up her Garden with no poisons, or nasty pesticides in sight! Her re-claimed bathtub is bubbling over with giant Geraniums and sweet alyssum.
Kelly hosted my cousin's baby shower at her house and I couldn't help but notice her farmgirl green touches
in every corner of her yard ( and inside too ). Here she is perched next
to her vintage Tea Pot Tree in her cactus garden. Turns out she's been collecting them for years. Kelly ( and her talented hubby Billy ) have caught the Up -cycling fever and like many of us they have rooms stuffed to
the gills with " projects in waiting ". They're on the look out for the perfect location for their new shop in Reno or Sparks Nevada.

Everyone needs a corner sink in the garden, don' t cha think?
Old rusty bed frames and gates make the perfect trellis for climbing plants.
How about a vintage sewing machine propped in the garden as a reminder to sew seeds of kindness and creativity where ever you go?
This not so snowy snowman made from misc parts is a reminder that temperatures can still drop bringing a chilling end to a sunny warm day.
That's where this old wood stove comes in to play... Toss in a log, sit back and relax and let your creativity sprout in your GREEN garden yard too!
Aren't these some great GREEN ideas?
Which one is your favorite? I know! It's hard to " pick "!
What's the coolest UPCYCLED garden art you've seen or created, or would like to create?

ReplyDeleteI wanted to use the old cast iron claw foot tub of my brother in law's to make a planter but he may(MAY) use it someday. He currently lives on a boat so I'm thinking some day may never come. I've got to figure out a plan.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun yard! I have plants in a tub just like that and I've always wanted to use old doors to make a screen but just haven't done it yet. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Transformed Tuesday.
