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?

A theme would help. A wildflower garden, a fairy garden, a Japanese garden, a blue garden, a sunflower garden, desert garden, rock garden, a butterfly garden, rose garden, etc...
Can you post a photo? Many people have this problem, do not feel bad, you are not alone.
It does not have to be hard, and it doesn't have to please anyone but you. Just move your yard art around until it suits you. My back yard is a bit of a hodge podge too, but my excuse is that I have pets, lol!
Do you need help how to group plants together? You can use color to have things make sense.
Here are some fantastic and creative ideas for rain chains.

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.
