    I love how you repurposed your junk!!! I love to use found items and repurpose them into unique garden art. I need to steal your ideas for an upcoming garden tour that I am hosting on June 1. I will have to wow the attendees with creative containers and yard decor as we started only two years ago with a little over an acre of poor virgin soil and lots of wild grass and weeds.

    Shannon I love it... I do the same thing with my memory gardens/containers. I have my Great-Grandma Annie's cast iron soap kettle and put her favorite red flower in it - my grandfather's grinding wheel and seat has a pot on it with his favorite flower -- on and on... I'll post some pics later.

    Shannon O- A Southern Belle with Northern Roots very nice display. I think the placement is key to the character you have brought to your garden It isvery pleasant with lots of eye candy among the beautiful flowers.

    Shannon O- A Southern Belle with Northern Roots we too are still buried under snow. It has been snowing for a couple of days now - less today and temps are warmer today as well. I am avoiding depression by trolling the garden section LOL But it is working :)
