garden features
We all strive for beautiful lush gardens! In a perfect world, all our flowerbeds would be forever blooming, never needing any other elements.
But even so, I always find gardens abit more interesting when there's something other than just plants to draw your eye in.
Thinking along the lines as garden features being outdoor vignettes will help you balance and place. Here, a productive and pretty birdbath adds height and added interest to this area.
An old rusty pot accompanies the vignette for abit more garden bling. Check out the thistle carving at the base of the birdbath. It really is very pretty.
An old headboard such as this can serve as a focal point, without obstructing view. This area has the illusion that someone simply left the headboard in a meadowy field, just because.
And how about a little meandering pathway towards a secret place to sit? Hugging the area from up above is towering honeysuckle that is wound around one of the brick posts. Everything combined creates a cozy little hideaway. :)
Peeking in from the front door, this outdoor vignette invites you in to come and stay awhile and enjoy your surroundings. How do you take your coffee? :)
This little galvanized and rusty trio adds some fun to a corner area.
The painted rocks are left from the last owner's kiddos and I couldn't bare to part with them. :) The cat one to the upper right is really nice!
And my pets drink out of the milk container. This wasn't planned! So I top it up with fresh water for them. :)This is in spring right after the snowdrops bloomed.
And you've already viewed my junkin' rust in the back 40, but in case you missed the post, you can check it out HERE. Plenty of rusty relics and old wood to inspire even the junkiest junker. :)
As you can see, outdoor garden features can be as simple or as elaborate as you desire. The key here is to put in what you love and have fun!
So, go forth and experiment! Plant your favorite treasures along side your plants, and bring some life into your own garden areas!
Link up your own garden features/art in the 3rd themed linkup below. Can't wait to see what you bring this weekend!
Tuesday July 7!
Next week! See ya then. :) Last event is HERE.
