I would like ideas for decorating my garden.
My garden seems to be a collection of ideas that lack cohesion. How do I tie everything together. Does anyone have ideas for creating a rain chain?

Hi Yvonne. I'm Cindy. A good way to tie everything together is with color, whether it be plants, painted pots or outdoor furniture. If you have at least 3 different things with the same color, you will see a more organized look. Rain chains replace the need for downspouts. Just remove a downspout and hang a chain in it's place. Copper is used most often but you can use any chain material. It's still a good idea to guide the water away from your foundation. You can do this with many things such as rocks or downspout extensions. Some people even hang items on their rain chains. I saw a post where someone hung small terracotta pots on their rain chain and it looked real cute. Best wishes Yvonne.
